Il s´agit d´un article sur le carburant vert:

Utilité sujette à caution, défiscalisation préférentielle... l´E 85 est parti pour faire **pschit** et, surtout, profiter au lobby agricole.

Explanation:
Hace años lanzaron una publicidad del agua Perrier cuyo dibujo era un haz de burbujas que salia del cuello de la botella y decía
"l'eau qui fait pschit". Pienso que esa es la idea de la phrase ya que lo escribían de la misma manera. Sale con fuerza y se apaga.
