France’s fuel shortage is rapidly worsening, with official figures showing 16 percent of fuel stations now reporting no petrol or no diesel, up from 11 percent just days earlier. The disruption is spreading across the country, with Pays de la Loire, Grand Est, Île-de-France, Centre-Val de Loire and Normandie among the hardest-hit regions. At the same time, French diesel prices have reportedly reached a new all-time high, adding further pressure on motorists, households and transport costs. But the real scale of the shortage could be even larger, as stations facing partial supply disruptions are not fully reflected in the official figures. As fuel shortages spread across France, concerns are growing over the country’s wider energy situation and the potential impact on consumers and markets.

00:02France's fuel shortage is surging, with one in six fuel stations now running short of petrol or diesel.
00:10Official government figures show that 16% of France's stations are now affected, up from 11% on Saturday.
00:19And the pressure is particularly severe around Paris.
00:23In Ile de France, the figure has reached 18%, but several other regions are reporting even higher levels.
00:32Pays de Valois is at 20%, Grand Est stands at 19%, and both Centrale Val de Loire and Normandy are
00:41at 18%.
00:42In fact, every region except Corsica is now above 13%.
00:48And there is an important detail behind these numbers.
00:52The official figures only classify a station as experiencing a shortage if it has completely run out of petrol or
01:01completely run out of diesel.
01:03That means stations facing partial shortages, limited supplies, or long queues may not be fully reflected in the headline figure.
01:12So the disruption on the ground could be considerably broader than the official 16% suggests.
01:19At the same time, the cost of fuel is reaching unprecedented levels.
01:25French diesel is now averaging around 2.42 euros per liter, putting the price at roughly $10.52 per U
01:35.S. gallon.
01:36That is a new all-time high.
01:39Petrol prices are also above their previous peaks.
01:43And together, the figures point to a rapidly worsening fuel situation across France.
01:49The biggest concern is not just the price at the pump, it is the combination of record fuel prices and
01:56a growing number of stations unable to fully supply motorists.
02:01For drivers, that can mean longer queues, fewer options to refuel, and increasing pressure on household and transport costs.
02:11And with shortages now affecting regions across much of the country, this is no longer a problem concentrated in one
02:18part of France.
02:19The latest government figures show the shortage has expanded sharply in just days, from 11% of stations affected on
02:28Saturday to 16% now.
02:31That jump is putting France's wider energy situation under renewed pressure.
02:37And because the official count only captures complete shortages of at least one fuel type,
02:42the true scale of the disruption may be larger than the headline number indicates.
