Diesel was about 80c Euro's and I think the petrol was around 95c Euro's a Litre.
Autoroutes were about 3-5c Euro's more than the back road stations.

Matt, the garage up the road has just passed the £/L barrier, that's pain alright.
H - it's terrible here an'all - $2 per gallon, it's outrageous! That's just over a quid - it's abloody scandal, I'm telling you! |

I saw on the TV a few weeks ago that the americans are currently buying small econimical cars because of the fuel prices. Hopefully the UK will be able to drop to £1.20 per Gallon! |

That's right. My sister-in-law's new Jeep only has a 4.2 litre lump! |

Fuel is a lot cheaper at the hypermarket petrol stations.
But check that it's not a automated one, because the machines don't usually work with UK credit cards.

...and where the petrol stations say 24 x 7, that is often only for automated sales which, as Barry rightly says, often will not cope with our credit cards.
I always fill up on arrival, but if you might need a top up on Sunday on the way back, just stop at the first open place you see cos there's a good chance it might be a long way to the next one.

I wonder whether this will still be the case. I believe the reason before was because France have operated the Chip and Pin system for the last few years whereas we didn't. So if you have a new Chip and Pin card might it now work?? |

It would be far to sensible for the UK and the French banks to use the same system, they wouldn't be able to justify what they charge their customers, which would result in a dip in their outrageous profits.

Too bl**dy right Smokie. We were on the sniff of the stuff before we found a petrol station on Sunday last year. Bl**dy scary, it was that close. |

In France that was between 1.03 euros and 1.07 per litre.
Portugal was 1.15 euros per litre. OUCH
