Fuel Costs

[Kamsin]

I always fill mine up when i get off the ferry over there and fill it back up before getting on to come home, definetly notice the difference.

British trucks (HGV) used to run with 2 fuel tanks on the continent, But they got busted as when they cross the boarders now, if they have twins on they have to have hazpac if not they get the tuck impounded.

Now look at the size of the fuel tanks on continental lorrys that come over here, they never use UK fuel, dont pay UK road Tax and dont stick to UK (European) Tacho laws, no wonder were Foobard is it.

I took the Micra to France last week to keep fuel costs down - costs me £500 to get the Terrano there and back these days....and while diesel in France is still cheaper than the UK (around 1.29 euros or less) unleaded is on a par...about 1.59 euros on the autoroute....but got introduced this time to something called E10. Its a 95RON unleaded fuel but with 10% bio-ethanol added and its typically 12-15c cheaper than straight unleaded...seems to perform just as well as standard fuel so be interested if it makes it over here....somehow I bet it doesn't!:doh

British people do demonstrate, look at the students, and the EDL, and all the various 'anti - racist' movements. Maybe we either don't care about fuel costs enough, or it is just low down the list of priorities

Maybe it will cost us too much in fuel to go down to London and protest :lol :lol :lol
Maybe that's the idea. :doh

Only allow rich people to use the motorways and main roads, the roads will be clearer then.
They won't have to spend so much on new roads and repairs.

Interesting...its an 80-litre tank and on all four Terranos I've owned I've only managed about 65 litres when the fuel lights has come on, so your needle must have been well down?

Well it underlines experience that others who have travelled on the continent will confirm, that european diesel is significantly better than UK diesel, both in terms of performance and fue economy. Explain that if you can.:nenau

Well I can. :naughty

I've read that claim many times over the years from caravanners travelling abroad.


Must be some truth in it.
