Which fuel should you choose in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes?
The region has a solid E85 station network, especially around Lyon. For frequent highway trips between Lyon and Paris or Marseille, diesel remains cost-effective over long distances.
In general: diesel remains cost-effective on long trips thanks to its better energy efficiency. SP95-E10 suits almost all vehicles made since 2000 and is cheaper than regular SP95. E85 is the cheapest fuel per liter, but it burns faster, which cuts the real-world savings to about 20-30% depending on the vehicle.
