7.38 percent of gas stations have no fuel, while at least one type of fuel (gasoline or diesel) is in short supply in those affected by shortages, according to French broadcaster.
In some departments, more than half of the gas stations are experiencing shortages: Loire-Atlantique (55.06 percent), Mayenne, Ille-et-Vilaine, Maine-et-Loire (40 percent).
