I have no idea what any of this means except that E10 is a type of fuel.
* SP = gasoline (95 / 98 is European octane ratings, same as US 87 and 95)
* E85 is 85% ethanol 15% gasoline, they sell that in the US too
* Gazole = diesel (B7 = 7% biodiesel, which is nice because it adds lubricity)
* GPLc is propane
All prices are by liter. E85 is cheaper because petroleum is heavily taxed...

@cjd you know what would give a price advantage? at least half of it not being taxes or "CO2" compensation.
Taxes. Petroleum is taxed very heavily, but if it doesn't come out of the ground, it doesn't get the tax.
The official story is carbon, but I tend to think France just hates dependence on foreign sourced energy.
