Faced with the increase in fuel prices, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced that a discount at the pump of 15 cents per liter would apply from April 1.

It's far too late for Olivier Thomas, mechanic, dealer and gas station attendant in Haute-Loire: the sale of fuel representing nearly 15% of his activity, he has simply decided to temporarily stop offering it!

“We were at 1.80 euros 10/15 days ago, so going to 2.50 euros, I find that unacceptable, he protests.

That's why after a while, I said to myself: we have to stop!

".

Of which act.

Especially since the fuel station is not the one that earns him the most: “I sell, come on, 15,000 liters a month;

take a calculator and multiply 15,000 liters by 0.03 euro cents, you will see what I earn.

It is ridiculous”.

Is price freeze the miracle solution?

“The crises of 2000, 2008, 2012, we took them in the mouth and we survived all that, recalls Olivier Thomas.

For me, the solution is to lock in prices.

We've been struggling with this for 20 years and no one has found a solution.

Let's block the prices on fuels since we manage to do it on gas and electricity!
