  • TotalEnergies is reinstating a price cap on fuel at all its service stations in France, reversing a previous reduction.
  • The price cap limits gasoline to 1.99 euros per liter and diesel to 2.25 euros, with a special weekend cap of 1.99 euros for summer travel.
  • The company cited renewed Middle East hostilities and rising oil prices as reasons for bringing back the measure, which was previously scaled back in June.

TotalEnergies is bringing back a nationwide price cap on fuel at all its service stations across France, a move prompted by renewed hostilities in the Middle East and a subsequent rise in oil prices. The company had previously scaled back this measure in June.

The reinstated price cap sets gasoline at a maximum of 1.99 euros per liter and diesel at 2.25 euros. For peak summer travel weekends, TotalEnergies is implementing an even lower cap of 1.99 euros per liter for both gasoline and diesel at its highway service stations.

Additionally, customers enrolled in TotalEnergies Electricité & Gaz's "fuel benefit" program will enjoy a capped price of 1.99 euros per liter for both diesel and gasoline throughout 2026. This comprehensive measure aims to mitigate the impact of fluctuating fuel costs on consumers, particularly during periods of geopolitical instability and increased demand.
