Gasoline at constant price. TotalEnergies will maintain the cap on the price of its fuels at 1.99 euros per liter for the whole of 2024, the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire announced this Wednesday on RTL. He indicated that he had spoken with the CEO of the hydrocarbon giant Patrick Pouyanné who “made a commitment to maintain this cap at 1.99 on all fuels, for the entire year 2024”, and “in all stations “. “I welcome this commitment because it is real protection,” said the minister.
Bruno Le Maire estimated that future prices of oil and therefore fuel will depend “on what is happening in the Middle East: if the crisis remains local, the consequences will be local. Today they are limited, if tomorrow there is an extension of the conflict in the region, the consequences will be much heavier on energy prices,” he warned.
“A nation advances when everyone collectively makes an effort,” declared the minister. “On fuel it works because Total has made a commitment that I welcome,” he concluded. A measure taxing the margins of refiners, such as TotalEnergies, in the 2024 draft budget currently under discussion in the National Assembly had been considered in recent weeks, but it ultimately does not appear there.
