Even petrol on our recent trip to France was within 1p or 2p of UK
prices. Then you had to add peage. Over our 1700 mile round trip the
running costs (petrol and tolls) per mile were within fractions of
pence of some of the long trips we've done over here recently.


Petrol in my local Tesco's last night was 86.9p for unleaded, less 5p for
spending over £50 in the store. Can't remember the last time I paid 81.9ppl.
