French diesel prices in France reach record highs, topping about €2.40 per litre, according to outlets citing AFP analysis and European reporting. Euronews says prices exceed €2.40 a litre, while The Local reports an average Sunday price of around €2.41.
Both accounts link the increase to wider European fuel cost pressures, with disruptions to global oil supplies and higher refining costs tied to the ongoing war in the Middle East. Euronews adds that French diesel is among the highest prices in the EU, while The Local focuses on the record level reached in France and cites the analysis as the basis for the new figure. Neither source attributes the spike to domestic policy changes in France.
Overall, the reporting agrees that the record is measured at the pump in France and that the driver is international supply and cost dynamics affecting diesel markets.
