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.

During the week ending May 30, 2025, the price of automotive fuels in France did not record any change. The price of diesel was at approximately **** euros per liter, including all taxes. The inflation in 2022 relates to increasing uncertainty over motor fuel supplies after Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

In 2024, the average price of diesel fuel in France was around 1.7 euros per liter, compared to an average price of 1.8 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 household end users (including taxes, levies, and VAT) in France increased in 2024. At 0.12 euros per kilowatt-hour, gas prices reached their highest value in the observed period. The prices include gas basic price, transmission, system services, meter rental, distribution and other services. Electricity prices for household end users incl. tax also peaked in 2024.

South Africa is facing the triple challenge of (a) fuelling economic development and meeting the growing energy demand; (b) increasing the reliability of the electricity system; and (c) ensuring that domestic greenhouse gas emissions peak no later than 2030 to meet its nationally determined contributions (NDC) under the 2015 Paris Agreement. Recently discovered domestic shale gas reserves are being considered as a potential new energy source to provide clean, reliable and cheap electricity while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions relative to the dominant coal sector. In order to determine if shale gas can play a viable role in solving South Africa's energy trilemma, we apply a country-level version of the integrated assessment model MESSAGEix to analyze and quantify the interdependencies between shale gas, the energy system and South Africa's greenhouse gas emissions trajectory. The data and scripts to generate this study will be made available at https://github.com/tum-ewk/message_ix_south_africa following the publication of this manuscript. Our results indicate that shale gas extraction costs must be below 3 USD/GJ for this energy source to reach a significant share in the fuel mix; this is well below current cost estimates. If, however, low-cost shale gas is available, both coal and low-carbon sources are replaced by natural gas. Whether carbon dioxide emissions increase or decrease as a result depends on the stringency of the climate change mitigation policy in place: without carbon pricing, natural gas replaces coal and mitigates harmful emissions; under high carbon prices, power generation from coal is phased out in any case, and natural gas competes with zero-carbon renewables, leading to an increase of emissions compared to a no-shale scenario.

The annual petrol cost for a 10-kilometer one-way commute in a petrol internal combustion engine vehicle was the most expensive in Paris among selected European cities in 2023. Petrol cost, including money spent on fuel and money lost to congestion, reached 934 Euros in Paris. In addition, the yearly petrol cost was 886 euros in London, which was the second most expensive among the considered cities.
