Fuel Prices in France: Petrol and Diesel, On and Off the Motorway

Checked 5 October 2026 against the EU's Weekly Oil Bulletin and the French government's station file · skynomad

The pump says Gazole for diesel and SP95-E10 or SP98 for petrol. The words on the pump, and which fuel your car takes, are on petrol and diesel in Europe.

France Against Its Neighbours

The cheapest diesel next door is in Spain. If your route crosses a border, fill up on the cheaper side.

Average pump prices with taxes, week of 28 September 2026, from the EU's Weekly Oil Bulletin. Switzerland is not in the bulletin.

On the Motorway or Off It

France publishes the price at every station, with a flag for the ones on the motorway. Leaving the autoroute at a junction with a supermarket station usually costs a toll stop, so weigh the saving against the detour.
