Indeed, fuel prices increased slightly but continuously for several months. Thus, according to the website of the Directorate General for Energy and Climate, Super unleaded 95 (SP95) is 1.4668 euro / liter 1.4971 against the historic high in June 2008. The difference is only 3.02 cents. On Super unleaded 98 (SP98), the difference is again in about 3 cents. The diesel is less impacted by rising.
carbeo.com According to the website: "When a driver drives 20,000 km per year, the impact of higher prices on its annual budget of between EUR 150 and 195 euros, all fuels combined. "
The reasons for the soaring fuel prices:
There are three main reasons:
1 / Increase the price of crude oil markets
2 / Increased demand faster than production (due emerging countries)
3 / The course down the Euro
Although a barrel of crude oil (North Sea) had declined for the first time since October 2008 to 99 dollars, n ' is not the main explanation. Do not forget that in 2008, a barrel was $ 147 well above the current $ 99.
The concern is that two factors correlate. The first demand is increasingly important in emerging countries (China, India, Brazil, South Africa, ...) which is mechanically increase the price by the mechanism of supply and demand. But the main fact is the During the Euro. Indeed, crude prices are indexed to dollars and the euro fell as we experience more strongly rising oil prices (a kind of double up). In 2008, the very high level of the euro had protected us.
