dave21478 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Anyone know the current petrol (and diesel) prices in northern Spain? Im thinking of another booze and fags run soon, and wondered if petrol was still significantly cheaper down there?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Petrol is around 25c a litre cheaper , deisel is about 15c cheaper, fags are still 30 euros for 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 We paid 1.04 euros for diesel in Alicante just over a fortnight ago. Incidentally, the Peugeot 308 HDI Sport hire car - very good value at £75 for 9 days with AutoEurope - bombed along very nicely and was amazingly frugal. We were charged for full tank when we collected it, did over 1000kms and returned it still showing nearly quarter full, without having added any. Wish I could get the same return with my own Mazda (petrol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 We had a 307 hdi courtesy car (as our car was again returned for repairs for the 12th time - bloody French technology!), so we made full use of it, clocking up over 5000kms in 3 weeks. Only filled up 3 times in that time too. Quite impressed with diesels. Wonder if Japanese cars have any diesel models as I'll definitely get Japanese next time.But as for petrol prices in Spain, I have no idea as I've never set foot in that country.

Baz Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 With the price of a barrel of crude oil reaching an all time record today of over 103$, I am sure it will not be very long before the prices at the pumps in all countries rises again. I managed to fill up yesterday with unleaded petrol at 102.9p per litre and this was a good price with what is being currently charged for fuel in the UK.UK Petrol Prices forMonday 3rd Mar 2008 Avg.Min.Max.Unleaded:105.5p100.9p115.9pDiesel:111.4p100.0p121.9pLRP:108.4p102.9p111.9pSuper:112.4p103.9p122.9pLPG:54.5p47.9p59.9pThe price difference between the UK and France will widen even more if the Chancellor in next week's budget does not stop duty rise already stated. Perhaps the UK should follow the French attitude of civil protest when they disagree with the government.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a Toyota next. I'm an avid Top Gear watcher and I've seen a Toyota crashed, spend he night under water in the sea and then blown up and yet despite all this, still work! I've seen the first car reaching the North Pole - another Toyota. And I've watched a Toyota cross the English channel, without the aid of a ferry! I bought a brand new Peugeot when I arrived in France and it has been back for repairs to the gear box no less than 13 times before they finally discovered what the problem was, and that problem was in fact a well known problem too![:)]Maybe one day I'll visit Spain. 20 years ago, I said I'd never live in France. I've also learnt never to say never![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
