2022 FUEL DISCOUNT. The government will ask Total to extend its bonus by 20 cents beyond November 1.
[Mis à jour le 12 octobre 2022 à 10h21] What if the Total discount of 20 euro cents was extended? In any case, this is the wish displayed by the government. “We are in the process of asking, with the Ministry of the Economy, with the Ministry of Energy if we cannot on the side of Total, that the rebate be extended” declared the Minister of Transport Clément Beaune, Tuesday October 11 at the RMC microphone. This extension of the discount would be for a few days, so that users who did not have access to fuel could fill up while benefiting from the discount.
As a reminder, the fuel discount has a very simple calendar. The amount is 30 euro cents until October 31. From November 1 to December 31, the amount is 10 euro cents. From January 1, 2023, it’s over. At the same time, the CEO of Total Patrick Pouyanné is offering a second discount specific to his brand. It is also degressive and follows the same timetable as that of the government. Small difference, it is currently 20 cents, then will drop to 10 cents, before dying out. In other words, until October 31, you can expect a discount of 50 euro cents per liter at a Total station.
The fuel discount benefits from a “decreasing” calendar until it is completely extinguished at the end of December 2022. Here are the dates to remember:
- Fitness 30 euro cents from September 1 to October 31, 2022
- Fitness 10 euro cents from November 1 to December 31, 2022
- She will removed from January 1, 2023
No change in sight at the pump for motorists! The discount of 30 cents per liter of fuel will apply in exactly the same way as that of 18 cents in force since April 1, 2022. It is applied automatically at the time of payment, at the cash desk or by credit card at the pump. Contrary to what has been announced, the price displayed at the pump is ultimately the one you will ultimately pay. There is therefore no calculation to be made or discount to be requested from the pump, making the operation more legible and simple for the consumer. All fuels are concerned, unleaded 95, 95 E10, 98, diesel such as E85, liquefied natural gas or LPG. Here is the device summarized in three points:
- The measure took effect on Friday, April 1, 2022 and is valid until the end of summer.
- The National Assembly voted on July 27, 2022 to extend the system, the discount increasing to 30 cents in September and October before being lowered to 10 cents for the last two months of 2022.
- This discount measure of 18 cents/litre of fuel will increase to 30 cents in September and is valid on all fuels, even E85 at the already lower price. If you drive on diesel with your diesel vehicle, you are therefore just as concerned as if you drive on unleaded petrol.
- The discount is immediate for the motorist. The price after discount is displayed directly at the pump and via the totem panels at the entrance.
No need to be a big wheeler or to justify business trips. Everyone will benefit from this feature, whether you have a store loyalty card or not. This measure concerns both households and businesses and is valid for all fuels, diesel, unleaded petrol such as E85. The discount is displayed directly on the totems present in service stations.
Are all fuels concerned? The fuel discount will not apply to heating oil, as indicated on the website of the Ministry of the Economy. This discount of 30 cents from this Thursday, September 1, 2022 concerns diesel, gasoline (SP95, SP98-E5, SP-95-E10), super ethanol (E85), diesel ethanol (ED95), diesel fishing, non-road diesel (GNR), liquefied petroleum gas fuel (LPG-c), natural gas for vehicles (NGV) in compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) form. Attention, the discount of 30 cents will only apply to metropolitan France. Corsica and overseas territories will not be affected. In question, lower taxes on the price of fuel.
In a press release published on July 22, 2022, the Total group indicated a drop in fuel prices at its service stations. “From September 1 to November 1, TotalEnergies will lower the price of petroleum fuels sold in stations by twenty euro cents per liter (…) then by ten euro cents per liter from November 1 to December 31”, explains the group in this press release.
The fuel discount will not apply to heating oil, as indicated on the website of the Ministry of the Economy.
