so when did petrol prices in france decide to sky rocket then

got back from my trip to the dordoigne yesterday

1300 miles round trip, no z problems at all :)

all my paranoia and the huge bag of bits i took with me werent needed at all - some lovely roads as well - lots of inquisitive looks and i think half of the bug population of france splatted on my bumper and a nice caking of dust everywhere else - think its going to take some scrubbing to get clean

 

petrol though - last time i went to france it was about half the price of ours over hear but now has gone up loads - even the supermarket 98ron was about 127 euros which i think is about 87p only slightly cheaper than here shell/BP on the motorways was about 93p

overran my fuel budget pretty quickly but it was worth it some good days of driving and the z got a very good run

Cheapest I found on the way to Le Mans was 107, but on motorways it was usually 124 or 127.

The price of their diesel has also gone up dramatically, still a bit cheaper than here though.

French fuel prices (well, petrol anyway) have always been relatively comparable with ours....that's what I've noticed anyway. Over the years have done a lot of continental driving. Only diesel that is cheaper....but that's catching up a bit now.

In me biker days i always thought france to be about the same as here, i know the cost of everything else was pricey except for wine.......funny that???
