French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Wednesday that he would make ten million barrels of diesel available to distributors in France, in a bid to help ease pressure on fuel prices. The diesel, which was purchased before the recent price surge and would be made available at cost price, would “automatically lower prices at the pump by an estimated 12 to 18 cents per litre,” he said during a televised address.
