Leclerc and Intermarché Sell Fuel at Cost Nationwide for Two Days Before Christmas

Grocers use a pump loss‑leader to cut travel costs for drivers ahead of Christmas.

Overview

  • The offer runs on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 December 2025 across stations operated by both supermarket groups.
  • E. Leclerc applies the deal in 711 non‑motorway stations on all fuels including E85, excluding LPG (GPL) and heating combustibles.
  • Intermarché extends the offer to all group stations during store opening hours, excluding E85 and GPL.
  • Leclerc presents the move as support for purchasing power, and experts describe it as a tactic to lure motorists into stores for higher‑margin holiday shopping.
  • E. Leclerc says this is its seventh such operation in 2025, and media report an expected average fuel price rise of about €0.05 per litre from 1 January 2026.
