Left-wing groups signaled support for another yellow vests-style protest wave as diesel prices start to bite.
TL;DR
- 16% of French fuel stations are short of at least one main fuel (diesel or petrol) as of September 21.
- This is an improvement from September 20 (17%) but worse than September 18 (13%).
- Shortages are most severe in Pays de la Loire (20%) and Grand Est (19%).
- Disruptions to diesel supplies from conflicts in Iran and Russia have caused historic low inventories and record-high prices.
