That’s exactly why it’s generally not allowed.
I also don’t really see what should motivate petrol companies to keep prices low after pricing out smaller competitors.
France is run by neoliberal dipshits now. They probably have decided that they want the small places out of business to “improve efficiency.” Also short-termist deregulation policies that leave everyone off worse in the long run is kinda their bag.
