An approach which of course aimed to recover money (since more Diesel cars were sold while these cars consume less) as well as for environmental reasonsDiesel being considered more polluting.
Yes, but here it is reprise post-covid like the war in ukraine ont turned upside down the market for oil products. Which leads to amazing situations and unsuspected, such as the overrun in the price of a liter of gasoline compared to that of diesel.
Vacations in the USA
There is however a explication to the explosion of the liter of gasoline these last weeks : the period of vacation in the United States. Indeed, the last Monday of each month of May is the ” Memorial Day “, an official day off (it’s rare in the United States) that pays tribute to members of the armed forces who died in combat. It is also a day when Americans rush to their cars. To go see their families and friends, but also to go on vacation.
Naturally, the Americans roll mostly gasoline for their particular journeys. The country is therefore experiencing a consumption peak important which obviously drives up prices. On the eve of this period, the authorities also stockpile, which further increases the limit (or the prospects of) the availability of gasoline on the market.
The time of american transhumance is therefore one of the factors which contributed to the sharp rise in prices last week. the Dieselhe was not affected in the same proportions, but he leaves despite everything on the rise (more than 2 euros) from this Saturday, May 28, 2022.
