Contrary to common beliefs and despite efforts to electrify the vehicle fleet, fuel consumption in France continues to rise.
In 2022, despite calls for energy frugality, deliveries of road fuels in France increased by 2.2% compared to 2021, according to Ufip Energies and Mobilities. While diesel consumption is slowly decreasing (-2%) due to the predominant share of diesel in the French vehicle fleet (about 73%), approximately 10 liters of diesel are still consumed per second in France, which is about 315 million liters annually. This would correspond to roughly 843,200 tons of CO2.
Conversely, the rise of gasoline use is reflected in a 10.6% increase in a year, or 2.3 liters consumed every second. This amounts to 73 million liters annually and 167,900 tons of CO2.
Based on daily consumption in France, this represents about 1 million liters of fuel. We are still far from turning our backs on fossil fuels…
