Loeb is back on top of the world rally standings after victory in the Acropolis Rally in Greece.
Loeb led by nearly half a minute going into the final day and pulled away even further to finish one minute, 9.5 seconds ahead of Norway's Petter Solberg.
Mikko Hirvonen finished third, despite mechanical problems on the first day, 1:56.1 behind Loeb.
"This year's rally was tougher," said Loeb, who also won here in 2005. "We had to preserve our tires and, in some places, we went slow."
It was Loeb's fifth win in seven races this season, giving the Frenchman 50 points in the overall standings, one ahead of Hirvonen. Australia's Chris Atkinson is third with 31 points.
Estonia's Urmo Aava was fourth on Sunday, while Loeb's fellow-Citroen driver Dani Sordo of Spain climbed from seventh to fifth.
Sordo had been in contention for the top place until he punctured a tire on Saturday, but bounced back to win the last stage of the race.
Finland's Jari Latvala won three of Sunday's seven stages to place seventh overall.
