The 40 Million Motorists Association has launched an online petition to cap fuel prices. They are calling on the government to implement reforms in fuel taxation to ensure that a liter of fuel at service stations never exceeds €1.50. The association believes that this is the only acceptable limit price, as current prices at gas stations are rapidly approaching €2 per liter.
The price of SP95-E10 has recently increased to 1.90 euros, marking the highest increase in six months. Diesel prices have also risen by 2.5 cents in just one week. The association attributes this price increase to American overconsumption and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which they claim will result in an additional €200 per year for motorists.
The association views this situation as untenable and is demanding urgent action from the government to reform fuel taxation, moderate prices, and preserve the mobility and purchasing power of French households. This petition is reminiscent of the Yellow Vest movement of 2018, which garnered over a million signatures and resulted in protests and blockades across the country.
The association is urging people to sign the petition and support their call for a cap on fuel prices and reform of fuel taxation to ensure that prices at service stations remain below €1.50 per liter.
In conclusion, the 40 Million Motorists Association has launched an online petition calling for a cap on fuel prices. They believe that this is necessary due to rising fuel prices caused by American overconsumption and the war in Ukraine, which they claim will cost motorists an additional €200 per year if not addressed promptly.
