She is back ! The life before, the one where we can run in the grass, kiss our sweetheart, take a big bowl of fresh air to drink like whey in the morning, toast on the terrace, do our push-ups outside (finally), but also to complain about the increase in gasoline. And yes, the prices of road fuels sold at service stations in France continued to rise slightly last week, in the wake of crude prices, according to official figures published on Monday.
Come on, let's go for the price list: diesel, the best-selling fuel, was worth 1.2161 euros per liter, up 0.69 cents from the previous week, according to data from the Ministry of Transition ecological and united. This is its fifth week of consecutive increases after a long period of decline in the wake of oil prices, victims of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Brent from the North Sea in full ascension
For its part, unleaded 95 gasoline sold for 1.3181 euros, up 0.56 cents. As for the SP95-E10, which contains up to 10% ethanol, it gained 0.74 cents, at 1.3038 euros. Finally, the SP98 was sold for 1.3766 euros, or 0.74 cents more as well.
Crude oil prices had collapsed with the Covid-19 pandemic which affected activity and in particular demand for transport. They have since recovered somewhat thanks to the fall in production undertaken by certain countries and the prospect of a recovery in demand. North Sea Brent crude was worth just over $ 42 a barrel on Monday, down from under $ 20 in April.
