Fuel prices continue to climb: +10 cents per liter in one month.

Despite the rebate of 18 cents introduced by the government, the liter of diesel still very often flirts with the bar of 2 euros.

In this service station south of Nantes, the price of diesel is displayed at 1.892 euros.

For Cédric, the boost from the government has now been absorbed: "State aid is no longer of much use, it has started to increase a little too, it was interesting at the time but now it doesn't. 'is more."

A full tank at "more than 120 euros"

A less interesting help but the car remains necessary for many to get to work.

Cédric has therefore adopted a trick: "I only put 10 to 20 euros from time to time to prevent the car from being too heavy, precisely to avoid spending too much gas."

For her part, Manon also does not fill her entire tank at once.

"It hurts a little when you have to refuel, I only put 20 euros, even 30 euros, and I try to reduce the distances as much as possible", she says.

Soaring fuel prices are such that Sylvain has to proceed in two stages, the ceiling of his bank card not allowing him such a large expense in one go.

"It's more than 120 euros ...", he breathes.

"The other day I had the problem, you couldn't even fill up at once, you had to put your card back in a second time."
