Since the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran one week ago, fuel prices at gas stations in France have significantly increased. Gas stations across France, including Paris, have been frequently raising prices. The average price of 95-octane gasoline has risen from 1.72 euros per liter on February 27th, which is equivalent to 13.78 Chinese Yuan, to 1.82 euros on March 6th, approximately 14.59 Chinese Yuan, an increase of nearly 6%. Diesel prices have seen an even more significant increase, rising from around 1.72 euros per liter to 1.98 euros, an increase of about 15%. Some car owners have noted that fuel costs have significantly increased, with a small car needing approximately 5 euros more to fill up a 50-liter tank compared to before the conflict, roughly 40 Chinese Yuan.
