For these last months, the price of oil knew many fluctuations and peaked. This increase in the barrel of the oil reverberated of course on the prices of different fuels. Now that the price of the barrel went down underneath 50 dollars, that it is of price of in the pomp.
In France (January, 2009), price varies the litre from 0,6 to 1,7 euro any merged fuel. If SP95 is taken, the litre sells in a little less than an euro in the big cities as Lyons, Claret or Paris but stations show prices of 1,49 or 1,69 euro.
On average, the difference between the least expensive and the highest price is about 0,10 euro. For the diesel fuel, it is a little more encouraging since the least expensive prices turn around 0,8 euro if the most expensive is worth about 1,59 euro.
The difference between prices is almost the same that for SP95 since on average it is 0,1 euro. As for the LPG, prices vary from 0,6 to 0,7 euro, what makes the least expensive fuel in France.
The difference between prices is therefore trifling because it is practically no one in some cities. On the side of E85, determined prices vary from 0,69 to 0,99 euro and the difference between prices does not exceed 0,18 euro.
The petrol is therefore the most expensive fuel in France but alternatives exist. For those who want or cannot change vehicle, there are some means to economise some fuel. First, it is necessary to be able to diminish his speed in city and on motorway because it can make economise up to 20 % of fuel.
It is also possible to economise by having well filled tyres and there are even tyres low consumption currently. It is also useful to limit itself in strict minimum if they want to economise some fuel. So, it is recommended not to fool air-conditioning too much. According to estimates, an use limited by air-conditioning can make earn 4 euro by 100 km.
This some advice can prove to be useful until the price of fuels goes down still a bit.
