Ironic that Russia & Belarus have the cheapest fuel prices, but surprising also how expensive some EU countries have become.

But if using something like Revolut exchange rate the price in France would be cheaper or the same against UK

would be around £1.57 on today's rates for €1.86 in Calais centre . checking today's Intermarche prices cheapest in Calais area (Marquise) €1.73 so on par with uk if you get a good exchange rate

 

[Manic]

This is the rate my Revolut shows now, so about £1.43

 

[jeddy]

Paid £1.56 in France on Thursday. Intermarche south of Chartres. Exchange rate of 1.16 applied by my bank.

This French Government website.....

Prix des carburants en France, site gouvernemental

Site du prix des carburants du Ministère de l'Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle : SP95, Gazole, E85, GPL, E10, SP98

www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr

gives the Auchan station in Calais as the cheapest...

Asda at Canterbury is giving £1.50.7/ litre

€1.80 converts to about £1.55

Fuel levy in the UK is 53p per litre, plus 20% VAT

So basis a £1.50 per litre pump price, 30p is VAT and 53p is fuel levy meaning the base price, including the sellers margins is about 67p a litre in the UK.

it's about 20p a litre cheaper in the middle east, so it shows our sellers margins are higher than they need to be, even when you include the additional shipping costs.

If price is £1.50 a litre VAT is 25 pence. You divide a VAT inclusive price by 6 to to work out what the VAT is.

errr, no.

If VAT is 20% then you divide by 5 (20+20+20+20+20=100)
Therefore VAT on £1 base item is 20p = £1.20p

Err yes - £1:25 x 20% = 25 pence. £1:25 + 25 = £1:50.

We've found France, Belgium and Germany all dearer than the UK over the last couple of weeks. Even Luxembourg which is usually much cheaper is currently around parity with the UK.

Came through Calais Thursday and UK was cheaper. Not as cheap as Croatia at €1.31. Also Luxembourg was €1.61.

We're slowly heading down to Croatia. Looking forward to the cheap diesel.

 

[Barclaybasher]

Regardless of price I will always fill up before any ferry or tunnel crossing.

I want to get on my way as soon as I land without thinking of getting fuel.

If it costs an extra £10 or so to top up so be it

Wow, it's £1.48.7 to £1.53.9 up here in Harrogate. Didn't see any below £1.53 yesterday driving up from Dorset.

 

[Kups]

Just paid 1.80 euros for diesel at Auchan Calais. LPG cheaper than Dover.

 

[scousebird]

If you are coming down the A2 towards Dover the cheapest fuel is at Tesco at Gillingham, it's off junction 4.

 

[Bonsaiman]

Just filled up at ASDA £1.477 ready for crossing to France, Newhaven to Dieppe on Friday, do I fill up before I cross or are there bargains to be had over the water?

No diesel bargains in France at the moment I'm afraid. You may as well fill up before you cross.

[georgio]

Thanks for the info folks ,we cross on Friday, will tank up uk .This is the first for a long time that it's been cheaper in uk. Thanks Rishi.

 

[DavidG58]

I know every penny counts these days, but even 10p / litre difference is only about 25 miles driving on a tank full

You could spoil your holiday worrying

The ferry / tunnel cost is the killer for us at the moment, spending our pensions in the U.K. for now

 

[BikerGraham]

A16 on Saturday diesel was €2.399, yes really. Only noticed it that high at that one service station. The one with the aire before Abbeville

As can imagine I didn’t put much in.

Later on closer to Rambouillet I paid €1.859 at an intermarche.

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

€1.83 in Düsseldorf just a tad cheaper than Belgium and cheaper than France.

Might stray into Luxembourg

 

[suavecarve]

Travelled Dieppe to Lorient yesterday.

Nothing over 2 euros.

We managed the cheapest all day 180.9 Lisieux e leclerc. Google converts it to £1.55
