Official figures released on September 21 show that 16 percent of nearly 10,000 petrol stations across France were running short of at least one type of fuel. The shortage showed significant regional differences across the country. In Pays de la Loire, one in five petrol stations was impacted, while in Indre-et-Loire, the rate was over one in four.

The widespread lack of fuel supply could impact operational capacity across affected regions. For the chamber of agriculture, the shortage might increase operational costs through market price changes.

The Housing Minister previously acknowledged low trial uptake in the departments of Indre and Dordogne, and Julien Marion reported on national fire statistics in July 2026.
