French Minister Maud Bregeon, the government spokesperson and minister responsible for Energy, announced she would meet with fuel distributors on Tuesday to discuss how quickly price reductions in oil markets can be passed on to consumers at gas stations. Bregeon emphasized the government's goal of ensuring that any easing in global oil markets is swiftly reflected in lower prices at the pump. She acknowledged that while recent efforts, such as the G7's decision to release up to 100 million barrels of crude oil and refined products over four months, have helped reduce market tensions, supply problems have not yet been fully resolved. Recent events, including an attack on a pumping station in Khurais, Saudi Arabia, have disrupted the East-West pipeline, which serves as an alternative route for oil shipments around the heavily damaged Strait of Hormuz. Bregeon admitted that she could not give a precise timeline for when fuel prices might decrease, stating, "I don't have a crystal ball." However, she stressed that any drop in prices should be visible quickly at service stations. Michel-Édouard Leclerc, an invited guest on BFMTV, said his company would lower prices if the G7's actions led to a more relaxed market. However, he noted that the timing of such a change was uncertain due to factors like the amount of crude oil refined into diesel and the value of the U.S. dollar. Bregeon also reminded the public that government assistance for individuals most reliant on vehicles remains available. This includes a 100-euro aid for "big rollers," which is extended until December 31, 2026. As of Tuesday, October 6, diesel prices in France averaged around 2.37 euros per liter, while SP95-E10 and SP95 were priced at 2.16 euros and 2.22 euros per liter, respectively, according to the government website prix-carburants.gouv.fr.
