The rise in fuel prices was a real trigger for the French, especially in the regions, who saw daily carpooling as the best way to reduce costs that seemed incompressible at first sight”, underlines Adrien Tahon, CEO of BlaBlaCar Daily.
As a reminder, the French government has set up a rebate of 15 cents from April 1 to reduce the cost of a full tank of gas. Indeed, on March 16, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced to Matignon that he wanted to implement this new aid against the rise in energy prices.
Nevertheless, the Carrefour group, owner of a network of 13,000 stores with petrol stations, wanted to anticipate government measures. Thus, since Friday March 25, the group has granted its customers a discount of 25 centimes per liter of gasoline. One more measure to promote the purchasing power of the French, more than ever at the center of concerns.
