In the Limburg region of Belgium I paid 1.07 euro for Diseasel at the local pump (Octa) Esso was 1.08 and on the motorway 1.18, Germany was 1.24 for Esso in Aachen
in response to emails and requests on Skype here is todays prices for all of you popping over to fill up
they are local to my area and given the size of france there are regional differences
the price all in euros per lit
of gas oil deisel at the supermarket 1-21 and local garage 1-30
essence petrol 98 super 1-39 garage 1-48
you have to do the exchange rates to this
however you look at it prices are up so more tax for the goverment Doing my best on the red wine lake, as its good for the heart
my other 4+4 is a real tractor but not as much fun on road

Quick question - are French motorway service stations typically 24h? Am driving through the night to the Alps and don't really want to be stuck on the forecourt until opening time....
Cheers

some stations near Big citys require you pay before the pump is turned on or you give then your ID card then fill up uk nationals will have to give passport)
Fuel price update 1-09 at supermarket 1-25 normal station not going down as fast as the oil price Petrol is dearer here than gasoil no Gordon brown tax pollution

I was en France 3 weeks ago and the price of supermarket diesel (Boulogne and then the Normandy/Brittany border area) was around €1.25 litre. The price per litre on the motorways and non supermarket stations varies considerably but it is of course always more expensive.
To maximise the savings on UK prices, the motor's just about running on fumes when I get off the ferry in Boulogne as it's only a mile to the nearest supermarket (L'Eclerc). I then fill up to the brim and also fill a 25 litre jerry can before getting the return ferry back to Dover.
I will be back over there for a week from 25th May so will post an update then
WELL
it was yesterday 1.32 at the local supermarket and 1.49 at a garage BUT today 1.27 at supermarket
also the exchange rate is not good pound to euro and dont forget the card charges
wine and sprit is still much cheaper
of intrest to the green lobby our local farm coperative has just killed off its six cow heards and ploughed the pasture to plant bio fuel crop
he gets a grant and good prices Doing my best on the red wine lake, as its good for the heart
