Fuel prices close to their record again – franceinfo

Prices that are close to the summits. The prices of road fuels sold in France remain at high levels and are approaching their recent records, according to official figures released Monday, November 15.

The liter of diesel was worth on average 1.5577 euros, up from the previous week (1.5493 ​​euros), according to weekly figures from the Ministry of Ecological Transition adopted on Friday.

It is close but slightly below the record which was reached in mid-October (1.5583 euros), shortly before the government announced a “inflation compensation” of 100 euros for more than 38 million people in the face of the rising cost of living.

The super SP95-E10, on the other hand, fell very slightly last week, to 1.6327 euros on average, or 0.31 cents less, returning from a new historic high. SP95 gasoline also fell to 1.659 euros, down 0.35 cents.

Prices at the pump follow the price of a barrel of oil, which has rebounded sharply in recent months with the global economic recovery and still limited supplies from certain producing countries. The prices thus moved above 80 dollars a barrel Monday morning against less than 45 dollars a year ago.
