The French government has announced plans to allow retailers to sell fuel at a loss - even though French law currently prohibits doing so - with hopes that the measure will bring down prices at the pump for consumers.

    I think it’s more Problematic to live almost 50km away from your workspace. I don’t expect any form of transportation to cheaply transport me 100km every day tbh.

    But also to be fair. The train should always be cheaper than a car. Also at above 2€ per L with a reasonable consumption of 6-8L you are around 16€+ just for fuel. Aren’t trains with discount Tarifs around 8-12€ per trip?

      Fair enough. But yeah, it’s crazy that taking the train is more expensive than going alone by car. It’d make sense if it was compared to carpooling, but nope…

      Not even talking about personal freedom, but as soon as you’re not living alone anymore, you may just not have that choice.
