BREAKING: France’s fuel shortage is surging, with 16% of the country’s stations now out of petrol or diesel, one in six, up from 11% on Saturday, and 18% in Île-de-France around Paris, per government figures published this morning.
Pays de la Loire is at 20%, Grand Est at 19%, and Centre-Val de Loire and Normandie at 18%, with every region except Corsica above 13%. The official count only registers a station as short if it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all, so the real shortage is much larger.
French diesel now averages €2.42 a litre, about $10.52 a gallon, a new all-time high. Petrol is also above its previous peaks.
Europe’s worst-ever energy crisis is getting worse.

Although I sympathize somewhat with the french working class, there is immense poetic justice in whats to come for the UK, Germany and France.
Where possible the workers should have electrified as much as possible. Get an EV, battery and solar system. If possible and you dpnt live in anapartment that is
Easier said than done. Too many people are living paycheck to paycheck and EVs are still expensive.
