Fuel Shortages Reported at Some French Gas Stations
Approximately 15 percent of French gas stations lacked at least one type of fuel on Sunday, an increase from 11 percent on Friday. The shortages are particularly severe in eastern regions such as Alsace, Champagne, and Lorraine, where over 20 percent of stations struggled to maintain full stock. While drivers can still find specific fuels like gasoline or diesel, prices have risen significantly due to Middle East war disruptions, with diesel averaging 2.41 euros per liter. French Minister of Economic Affairs Roland Lescure stated that national supply remains secure, but the government held crisis meetings to consider potential subsidies for commuters facing higher costs.
