The Hormuz Letter(@HormuzLetter):BREAKING: France's fuel shortage is surging, with 16% of the country's stations now out of petrol or diesel, one in six, up from 11% on Saturday, and 18% in Île-de-France around Paris, per government figures published this morning. Pays de la Loire is at 20%, Grand Est at 19%, and Centre-Val de Loire and Normandie at 18%, with every region except Corsica above 13%. The official count only registers a station as short if it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all, so the real shortage is much larger. French diesel now averages €2.42 a litre, about $10.52 a gallon, a new all-time high. Petrol is also above its previous peaks. Europe’s worst-ever energy crisis is getting worse.
