During the week ending October 10, 2025, the price of automotive fuels in France recorded a slight decrease. The price of diesel was approximately **** euros per liter, including all taxes. The inflation since 2022 relates to increasing uncertainty over motor fuel supplies after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and with the Hamas-Israel conflict that started in October 2023.

Gasoline Prices in France increased to 2.07 USD/Liter in November from 2.04 USD/Liter in October of 2025. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - France Gasoline Prices - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.

In 2025, the average price of diesel fuel in France was around 1.6 euros per liter, compared to an average price of 1.7 euros per liter in the previous year. In 2020, the price of diesel across France reached the lowest point on average compared to the previous years. The price of this commodity started to increase with the economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and kept growing with the market tightening that followed the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It peaked at over two euros per liter in March and June 2022.

Natural gas prices for non-residential customers peaked in France during the global energy crisis in 2022. For an annual consumption of less than 100,000 gigajoules, the price stood at 6.84 euro cents per kilowatt-hour that year. Meanwhile, natural gas price for non-household users with an annual consumption between 100,000 and one million gigajoules stood at 6.65 euro cents per kilowatt-hour.

On October 27, 2025, the price of ultra-low sulfur unleaded petrol (gasoline) in the United Kingdom averaged 134.4 pence per liter. This compared to 143.26 pence per liter for diesel. Diesel prices were consistently higher than petrol/gasoline prices throughout this period, although the margin varied. Reasons for such differences in pricing lie in the refining process and molecular makeup of the products, with diesel requiring more complex refining processes and being an overall heavier liquid. As motor fuel pricing in the UK is not regulated by a monitoring body, there may also be notable differences in prices between retailers and regions. Supermarkets provide lowest fuel prices in the UK In the UK, much of the motor fuel is sold through supermarkets. Large supermarkets, or hypermarkets, account for more than 40 percent of all motor fuel sales in the country. The reason for their popularity often lies in the fact that they offer lower average prices. In the last four years, regular petrol/gasoline sold at supermarkets was up to six pence per liter cheaper than the national average. How UK fuel prices compare to the rest of the world Tied as they are to crude oil prices, motor fuels are generally cheapest in major producing countries, such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia. In Europe, costs of importing the raw or finished products, in addition to taxes and levies, may hike up pump prices significantly. The UK is often among the countries with the highest petrol/gasoline prices, alongside other large European car markets such as France and Germany.

The Motor Vehicle Fuel Retailing industry has undergone a seismic shift over recent years, driven by regulatory changes and evolving consumer preferences. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 10.7% over the five years through 2025 to €30.2 billion, including estimated growth of 2.7% in 2025. French fuel retailers have seen hefty rises in revenue, particularly in 2022, when fuel prices skyrocketed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Although prices have trended downwards in the years following due to slowing economic growth and fears of a recession in 2023, they remain volatile and higher than pre-pandemic levels. Supply concerns continue to place upward pressure on prices, stemming from the escalating conflict in the Middle East. After Donald Trump’s victory in the US election in November 2024, tax cuts and a boost to fiscal spending will likely drive oil prices in 2025, forcing retailers to pass on these elevated costs to consumers through higher prices. Retailers are adapting their infrastructure to store biofuels following stringent mandates imposed by the French government calling for minimum percentages of biofuels to be included in petrol and diesel. Motor Vehicle Fuel Retailing revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2030 to €31.6 billion. The shift towards sustainability shows no signs of slowing as France seeks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This encourages a continued rise in electric vehicle production, posing a threat to fuel retailers in the coming years. The move to electric vehicles will be exacerbated by improved production processes by EV manufacturers, leading to lower prices and healthier demand for EVs. However, retailers looking to navigate the evolving landscape will need to invest heavily in improving their biofuel offerings to remain competitive. This will also prompt new entrants as they explore renewable energy opportunities, driving consolidation activity as larger retailers scoop them up in the coming years.

The average monthly price for natural gas in the United States amounted to *** nominal U.S. dollars per million British thermal units (Btu) in October 2025. By contrast, natural gas prices in Europe were about three times higher than those in the U.S. Prices in Europe tend to be notably higher than those in the U.S. as the latter benefits from being a major hydrocarbon producer. Europe's import reliance European prices for natural gas rose most notable throughout the second half of 2021 and much of 2022, peaking at over ** U.S. dollars per million Btu in August 2022. The sharp rise was due to supply chain issues and economic strain following the COVID-19 pandemic, which was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. As a result of the war, many countries began looking for alternative sources, and Russian pipeline gas imports to the European Union declined as a result. Meanwhile, LNG was a great beneficiary, with LNG demand in Europe rising by more than ** percent between 2021 and 2024. How domestic natural gas production shapes prices As intimated, the United States’ position among the leaders of worldwide natural gas production is one of the main reasons for why prices for this commodity are so low across the country. In 2024, the U.S. produced more than ************ cubic meters of natural gas, which allays domestic demand and allows for far lower purchasing prices.

Fossil fuels have been extracted in France since the beginning of the 20th century, helping to secure the country's energy supply. Natural gas is still used in a wide range of industries, including the energy sector, industry sector and private households. However, fluctuating international gas prices and dwindling reserves put the industry under increasing pressure. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting sharp drop in demand for gas products led to a decline in prices until the trend reversed in 2021. The recovery of the European economy from the effects of the pandemic and the resumption of production activities by many companies led to a rapid increase in demand for fossil fuels in 2021. The beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022 and the embargo on gas imports from Russia and Nord Stream supply cuts fuelled supply shortages, and gas prices rose again. As a result, the sales of French gas production companies increased. However, this effect waned in 2023 as supply shortages abated; revenue fell as gas prices dropped. However, prices are set to remain higher than most pre-pandemic years, stemming from elevated production levels and continuing consumer spending levels. Revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 12.1% over the five years through 2025 to reach €640.3 million, including an estimated increase of 7.8% in 2025. Prices are expected to recover in 2025 as global demand picks up. The global gas market will remain volatile as geopolitical tensions rise. To remain competitive in a volatile market, companies may need to adjust their pricing strategies frequently. This can lead to lower prices and reduce profitability, especially if costs remain fixed. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 2.7% over the five years to 2030 to €730.5 million. An increased focus on AI-based and automated extraction methods to streamline operations could help companies optimise extraction processes to minimise their environmental impact and support their competitiveness. However, as the energy sector evolves and shifts to renewable energy, demand for natural gas, while still high, will decline, dampening revenue growth. The industry's production capacity is being constrained by dwindling reserves in France and a lack of new entrants.

The petroleum refining industry in France has experienced notable fluctuations in recent years, largely influenced by external factors such as global oil prices and government intervention. In 2022, refinery revenues surged as global oil prices skyrocketed, driven by sanctions on Russian energy exports and coordinated production cuts by OPEC+. This upward price momentum saw refineries benefitting from higher selling prices for petroleum products, even as pressures mounted from rising competition with renewable energy sources. The industry managed to sustain elevated revenue levels through 2024 amid a backdrop of extended production restrictions by oil cartels, despite a stabilisation in prices compared to peak levels observed in 2022. Over the five years through 2025, industry revenue is projected to climb at a compound annual rate of 10.5%, reaching €48.7 billion in 2025 despite an estimated 2.4% dip in revenue in the final year. A shift away from diesel vehicles, which were once favoured thanks to government subsidies and their lower CO2 emissions, has reorientated the market. This decline was precipitated by concerns over harmful NOx emissions and the resulting policy change that saw new diesel car registrations in France falling from over 60% of the total to just 10% within 10 years, according to Eurostat. Consequently, refiners have had to adapt their production processes to meet the rising demand for petrol and electric vehicles. Alongside these challenges, the broader push towards renewable energy utilisation has meant a reduction in the share of oil and petroleum products in France’s energy mix, further pressuring the industry to diversify its focus and innovate.With the EU setting stringent targets for zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035, the long-term viability of petroleum-based refineries hinges on their ability to pivot towards cleaner alternatives. The necessity for substantial investment in biofuel research and development is paramount, especially as France ramps up its biofuel blending targets to comply with EU mandates. Petroleum refining companies are also increasingly diversifying their operations and embracing renewable energy. Industry revenue is projected to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2030, reaching €54.4 billion.
