Fill up with diesel in France

I have been monitoring the fuel prices lately, and even with the strength of the £ against the Euro, it will still pay motorists to fill up with diesel when in France.

There are still plenty of places selling diesel at 1.38 E, which on my own vehicle saves £13 on every fill up.

    No way fill up in France.

    Luxemburg for us, much cheaper. €1.24 today 6th march 2013.
    Compare to UK at €1.62

    So looking at €0.38 per liter.
    I can save €68.40 if both my tanks are empty. (190 liters) about 1300 miles range

    Been cheaper for a long while, but useful for those who don't know this. However don't fill up on autoroute which sounds obvious, but common sense obviously goes out of window often on holiday it seems
