Diesel Fuel

Next weekend I will be travelling from Bolton to Chelmsford and then onto Dinslaken in Germany via France and Belgium. Can anyone tell me where the best place to fill up is. Bolton seems quite cheap for fuel at the moment (diesel is around 93.9p/ltr) but obviously I will need to fill up somewhere on route and was wondering where the cheapest place was. I should be able to get from Bolton to Dinslaken on a tank of fuel but if it's cheaper on the way I'll fill up on the way.

Thanks,

Kido

    If I recall correctly, you are better off putting diesel in when you are in Europe, as it is significantly less expensive.

    France is more expensive than Holland and Belgium - when I went to Eindhoven a couple of weeks ago the derv was about 1.09 euros per litre on the 'motorways'.

    So as suggested above fill it up before you return to the UK.
