The fuel rebates put in place by the government and TotalEnergies are set to drop by 20 and 10 cents per litre respectively as of Wednesday, 16 November. Queues have formed again in front of certain service stations as motorists seek a last cut-price tankfull.

Many service stations were out of fuel on Monday, especially in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the central Ile-de-France region surrounding Paris, with motorists hoping to fill up on subsidised fuel ahead of the price changes.
