At these stations, the price of gasoline is up to 18 cents cheaper per liter.

It did not escape anyone.
According to the "carbu.com" site, a liter of diesel reaches, on average, the price of 1.72 euros.
For unleaded, it takes 1.95 euros.
To compensate for this surge in prices, Guillaume Hérent, Deputy Managing Director of the motorway company APRR, has decided to create his own service stations on his motorway network.
He was the guest of Romain Desarbres in
Europe Midi
this Friday.

Prices that drop up to 18 cents less
Faced with rising fuel prices, which are even more expensive on motorway networks than in supermarket petrol pumps, it was necessary to find an alternative path, explains Guillaume Hérant.
Thus, "to avoid motorway exits and make life easier for customers", the deputy director of APRR has set up his own service stations.
"Our model is relatively simple. We act without intermediaries, without seats, with the simplest possible circuits while maintaining the same level of quality, or even improving it", explains Guillaume Hérant

Thanks to this new service, the price of gasoline "is 11 cents cheaper per liter in our stations compared to others. Prices have increased since last January, we were then 25% cheaper, we see a surge in prices and this model allows us to contain the surge in prices. We even have stations that display up to 18 cents less than others", he concludes.
