Fuel discount: 50 cents at Total! How long?

Fuel discount 50 cents at Total How long

FUEL DISCOUNT 2022. Since September 1, motorists have benefited from a rebate of 50 centimes per liter purchased from Total. How does it work? What end date? We take stock.

[Mis à jour le 6 septembre 2022 à 11h37] Since September 1, you may have seen some pretty surprising prices when you passed near a gas station. 1.50 euros, 1.40 euros per litre… Prices that had not been displayed for a very long time. And for good reason, the discount fuel went through it! Until October 31, 2022a discount of 30 euro cents per liter purchased is applied within the framework of the purchasing power law aimed at protecting the purchasing power of French households. Better still, the energy giant Total offers a second rebate of 20 euro cents per liter which is added to the first government bonus. At TotalEnergies, the total rebate reaches 50 euro cents for a period of two months. From November 1, these two discounts will increase to 10 euro cents each, before going out at the end of the year.

This support measure is part of the purchasing power law, an anti-inflation package voted this summer by deputies and senators. Total cost of the operation: 20 billion euros. 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.

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.

The amending finance bill for 2022 extends the discount of 18 cents per liter of fuel. If the government, through the voice of the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire, had announced that it wanted to set up degressive aid, going from 18 cents to 12 cents in October, then from 12 to 6 cents in November, before disappearing purely and simply in December, the device was finally changed. Two successive waves will follow the 18 centimes from the end of the summer:

  • The discount will be increased to 30 cents for the months of September and October.
  • It will then drop at the end of the year with a discount of 10 cents in November and December 2022.
  • It should be removed as of January 1, 2023

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.

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.

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 the start of the school year will concern diesel, gasoline (SP95, SP98-E5, SP-95-E10), super ethanol (E85), diesel ethanol (ED95), fishing diesel, diesel (GNR), liquefied petroleum gas fuel (LPG-c), natural gas vehicle (NGV) in compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) form.
