"The price of petrol in France has jumped in recent weeks, prompting protests and demands for government help. French Oil giant TotalEnergies announced in mid-March that it would cap petrol prices at its petrol stations at €1.99 a litre, and €2.09 per litre for diesel, although only until the end of March."
"According to real-time government data, the average price of a litre of SP95 (E10) petrol on Friday, March 27th, was €1.986 per litre, while diesel was €2.221. Prices have risen nearly €0.26 per litre for petrol and nearly €0.50 for diesel in the past month."
"Faced with concerns about a possible diesel shortage, the French government has temporarily authorised the sale of fuel with lower cold-weather resistance. On March 26th, the decision was published on the official government's website, authorising the sale of diesel fuel that is 'non compliant with specifications'."
