REPORT
Since this Friday, April 1, a discount of 15 to 18 cents per liter of gasoline or diesel is granted in French service stations.
The decision was announced in mid-March by the government to deal with rising fuel prices.
A reduction that was eagerly awaited by motorists.
Europe 1 handed them his microphone in a service station in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
Many motorists want to fill up.
Here, there is even a queue that is beginning to form in front of the pumps.
Unleaded, like diesel, have fallen below 2 euros per liter since this morning.
Customers check out with a smile on their face.

"There is a difference of 15 euros on the full. It's good 1.81 euros per liter. It's always nice 18 cents less", exclaims a motorist at the microphone of Europe 1. Tiphaine, regular motorist , is also delighted.
She really has the feeling of regaining purchasing power: "It's nice because it was really too expensive for gasoline. Especially since we have to buy it to go to work, we don't particularly have the choice."
"It's always too expensive"
But for some, like Guillaume, this boost is still a little insufficient: "It's always taken. It's always that to gain on purchasing power, so we're happy all the same that there make an effort, even if it's still too expensive. 2 euros a liter is much too expensive, but good."
