“If E.Leclerc puts diesel at 2.15 euros, I will put it at 2.14”: the boss of TotalEnergies engages in the fuel price war
DECRYPTION - On the occasion of the presentation of the “energy outlook”, a forecast exercise for 2060, Patrick Pouyanné warns of a new increase in the price of gas as winter approaches.
TotalEnergies intends to maintain its new image as a troublemaker in fuel distribution, while diesel prices are starting to fall in most brands. E. Leclerc is demanding a drop of 21 cents per liter for diesel, following the release of strategic stocks requested by the government.
“So what?” If he puts diesel at 2.15 euros, I will put it at 2.14. We will always be cheaper,” replied Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies, on the sidelines of a presentation on the global energy panorama by 2060 (Energy Outlook).
TotalEnergies, which capped diesel at 2.25 euros per liter in its stations, announced a reduction of 10 cents on November 1.
