“But how do I get through? I’m not going to wait all morning here! “ Stuck at an exit from the roundabout of the Pont de Sauze, in Unieux, Martine groans, this Wednesday, October 5 at the end of the morning. In front of her, rue Holtzer, a traffic jam created by the queue of TotalEnergies customers.
“I can’t stop them from serving themselves here!” »
Delivered Tuesday, October 4, the station has been stormed for 24 hours. With these 27,000 liters of diesel, the manager thinks to hold out until Thursday evening, at least. On the other hand, stocks of SP95 and SP98 will not go that far.
Aware of the inconvenience caused by his customers on the road, the manager does not know what to do. “I can’t stop people from wanting to help themselves here. In the meantime, you have to be cunning to go up rue Holtzer, doubling the queue when no one comes in front.
Same scene in Saint-Étienne, rue Antoine-Durafour, behind the Centre-Deux shopping center. Here too, motorists are waiting on the road to refuel. “Waiting is nothing. The main thing is that there is still diesel when I arrive! “says Mounir with a smile. We reassure him: even if there are still eight cars in front of him, he will be able to fill up.
But those who come to the pumps of this TotalEnergies station this Thursday will probably be less lucky. The manager received, Tuesday at 2 p.m., 10,000 liters of diesel, 4,000 of SP95 and 2,000 of SP98: “We have just been delivered but it won’t last the day! »
From 1.60 to 2 euros per liter of diesel
Queue again, rue de la Montat. The station, closed Friday September 30 due to out of stock , was delivered this Wednesday morning. 36,000 liters of diesel but nothing in gasoline.
No delivery in sight, however, rue Karl-Marx. The 12,000 liters of diesel that arrived on Monday morning were sold during the day. The gas pumps are empty and the manager does not know when he will be refueled. A card announces the color at the entrance to the station: “No more fuel”.
