    Fuel prices in France rose again after a brief decline, with an average price of 14.
    1 euro cents per litre of diesel over the past week, near an all-time high
    .

    According to Le Figaro, fuel prices in France fell briefly two weeks ago, the first time in 2022 after 11 consecutive weeks of increases, but this situation was short-lived, and fuel prices rose
    again in the past week.
    Since the beginning of 2022, the price of diesel fuel has increased by 58 euro cents per liter and the price of SP95 gasoline has increased by 37 cents
    per liter.

    According to a report released by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition on the 28th, the average price per liter of diesel rose by 14.
    1 euro cents in the past week, reaching 2.
    1165 euros, again exceeding the symbolic threshold of 2 euros; the price of SP95 gasoline rose by 3 euro cents per liter to 1.
    967 euros, close to the 2 euro mark; the price per liter of SP98 gasoline rose by 2.
    6 euro cents to 2.
    062 euros
    .
    This means that the price of these fuels is close to the all-time high
    reached two weeks ago.

    The rise in fuel prices at gas stations in France was driven by higher prices for raw materials and petroleum products
    .
    After a brief decline in mid-March, Brent crude prices are now rising again, from $98 a barrel to nearly $120 in 10 days, putting heavy pressure
    on gas station prices.
    International conflicts could lead to reduced oil supplies, which worried operators and pushed up the price of
    all fuel, including diesel.
    France's National Institute of Petroleum and New Energy (IFPEN) stressed on the 28th that diesel market prices in Europe "are experiencing an abnormal rise"
    .

    How to deal with rising energy prices has become a core issue
    in the French presidential election.
    The French government has already issued an "inflation allowance" and raised the standard of "mileage allowance", and will introduce fuel discounts
    from April 1.
    French Prime Minister Jean Castel said that if President Emmanuel Macron is re-elected, it may go further to provide more assistance
    to commuters by car and low-income families.
    Other presidential candidates have also advocated for more measures to deal with rising energy prices
