Leclerc cuts diesel prices by 21 cents per litre across its stations
Leclerc cut diesel prices by €0.21 per litre at all its service stations from Sunday.
The average price fell from €2.35 to €2.14 per litre, saving about €10.50 on a 50-litre fill-up.
The move follows a French government decision to make strategic diesel reserves available to fuel retailers for three months.
Nearly 10 million barrels are due to enter the market, with each retailer's share based on its market share.
The fuel was bought before prices surged, so selling it is expected to bring prices down.
The cut applies to diesel; the information provided does not say whether prices will fall further or how long Leclerc's lower price will last.
