Didier is a luthier, and for a few days, he has been comparing them again on an app. "It helps me select the cheapest gas station. Diesel, 95...

If there is no more fuel, it is also displayed,” he explains. But when it comes time to pay, the feeling remains bitter: “I spent 80, almost 90 euros, which is enormous. The money that is taken to make fuel is not taken to do anything else, whether it be leisure, food…”, he laments.

Since this weekend, prices have been falling in resorts. So, to stock up, Tanguy also scrutinizes the prices. "I passed by Total, I saw that it was armored, I said to myself: 'I'll look here', and finally, I realized that it was a good deal because there were fewer queues and a few cents cheaper, so it's always a bargain," points out the motorist.

Discounts for three monthsBecause depending on the distributor, the reductions vary. Minus 21 cents per liter of diesel at Leclerc and Système U, a discount of 20 cents at Carrefour, and a discount of 10 cents at Total, which already capped its prices. For independent stations, you will have to be patient, between a week and ten days to see these effective reductions, according to Francis Pousse, national president of fuel and new energy distributors at Mobilians.

“As long as the service station does not have discounted products, it cannot itself make discounts at the risk of selling at a loss,” he indicates. In a station in the Lyon metropolis, the discount is already displayed: minus 21 cents per liter. A first step for motorists.

“It’s not enough, but it’s already a start,” admits one of them. “Yes, it feels good. I still have 400, 500 kilometers, so it consumes,” admits another.

But for a third: “As long as it does not drop below 2 euros, it will always be too expensive, despite everything. “These discounts, possible thanks to the release of strategic stocks sold at very attractive prices, must last three months.
