Fuel was indeed very expensive this year compared to previous years. The cheapest diesel I found in France was £1.15 in a Carrefour station, as in the UK the cheapest prices are at the supermarkets.

In Spain we found £1.08.

I cant understand why unleaded is so much more expensive abroad than diesel. In the UK its the other way round.

Diesel used to be cheaper over here years ago until diesel cars became really popular. The government certainly cottoned onto this.

Although I can see a lot of more economical cars than mine about, Laura's posts have made me feel so much happier about my Mercedes C240.
