Rising petrol prices drive French motorists towards bioethanol
France 24 reports growing interest in bioethanol, priced at about €0.95 a litre, as petrol costs continue to rise.
More drivers in France are switching to bioethanol as petrol prices rise, according to a report by France 24.
The alternative fuel is currently priced at about €0.95 a litre, France 24 reports. The figure is time-sensitive and the supplied report does not specify the location, fuel type or date of the measurement.
France 24 also describes bioethanol as cheaper to produce than petrol. The report provides no further evidence or cost comparison to support that claim.
The scale of the shift has not been quantified. The report also does not establish whether every vehicle can use bioethanol, leaving compatibility requirements for individual motorists to check.
