There is a supply problem at fuel stations in France

According to the data showing fuel prices and the current situation at the stations in the country made available online by the French government, there is a supply problem with at least one type of fuel at fuel stations, the majority of which belong to the French oil company TotalEnergies.

Data shows that 11 percent of stations across the country have a diesel or gasoline shortage.

The French government states that there is no risk of fuel shortage in the country and that the problems are caused by distribution problems and logistics reasons.

In his statement at the beginning of the week, French Finance Minister Roland Lescure announced that the rate of stations experiencing supply shortages in at least one type of fuel was 17 percent and that 91 percent of these stations belonged to TotalEnergies.

While the liter price of gasoline was 1.99 euros and diesel was 2.25 euros at TotalEnergies stations, long queues were observed in front of the stations in the capital Paris due to supply problems.

The disruption of ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the strategic energy routes, due to the tension between the USA and Iran, caused a crisis in the energy markets and fuel prices increased.
