Carlos, all European countries are different.

In France the government will not lower the gas taxes. It has been done 20 years ago, cost a lot to government, but had a very limited impact on the final gas price.

Total, biggest French petroleum company has increasing profits each year. It's currently thinking about taxing petroleum companies and redistributing that as coupons for poorer people.

For annual taxes, the mileage allowance have been reevaluated so people with high miles and low annual taxes may save by declaring their real business expenses instead of using the default amount.
