MrCanary Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm making the opposite journey in a couple of weeks. UK/Dieppe/Le Mans/Tours, so I will be interested in the replies you get about the French side.As I am sure you are aware (but just in case you aren't) there are no shortages in the UK - just very high prices!There are some people in the world at this time who are getting very, very, rich courtesy of the rest of us and all these price hikes are based purely on rumours and double-dealing!

dragonrouge Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 I paid 1.53 euros per litre the other day here in the Vendee. Not much in it when compared to the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Filled up here yesterday, no probs. But, as said above, hellish pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigears Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 hiWe, in countries such as France and the Uk (more so in the UK) are in for a rough ride with regard to prices. We need to get used to higher prices for such things as fuel. If people are struggling now, look for other additional ways to make money. Sorry if it sounds gloomy, best to think like that and plan for hard times rather than do nothing and face big problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judie Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi Dick,Not noticed any problems round our way - I filled up at Le Teilleul on Wednesday and although it was 1.51 for diesel, at least I got some.Judie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
