Source and method
Prices are reported by station operators to prix-carburants.gouv.fr (Ministère de l’Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique). We collect them once a day and calculate the averages in this article ourselves. The national average is the unweighted mean of the 9,091 stations that reported a valid price for diesel, after we drop readings outside our plausibility range. Full method: how we calculate.
This article reports only what our calculations from station-price data show. It does not attribute the change to any cause.
