I find Diesel is cheaper in France, than in the UK.

Last time we were there, petrol was dearer in France than UK
Not sure now though, and at the time diesel was cheaper in France.
In fact we spoke to a guy on the ferry, who lived near Dover and he was retired and got a cheap day return on either the ferry or euro tunnel, which ever was the cheapest at the time, filled up with diesel in France and was quids in, a free day out lol. Add to that a few local cheeses and quosoints and the odd bottle of wine... sorted.

He did this every month, where possible.

diesel is about a £1 a gallon in france at the moment

the exchange rate for pound to euro is 1.20 euro`s to the pound
been watching the exchange rate for a couple of weeks now

debenhams travel and co-op travel have some good rates, you can order online but will probably need some ID when collecting ( passport, driving license etc)

Right fe*k veg oil im off to France

briggie · 12-05-2014, 18:38

a pound a gallon works out at about 23p a litre

johnb5177 · 12-05-2014, 19:08

Fuel around here is around 1.32eu/ltr. The further north you go the cheaper it seems to get!
In St Pol de Leon near the ferry port in Roscoff, Brittany the SuperU was well under 1.30Eu/ltr....1.26eu I think a few weeks ago.
Post Office do Euro exchange at the going rate with no commission over the counter.
