The French are at it again

Starting from Feb.1st I believe many more post offices are going to stock International Driving Permit forms in anticipation of a rush.My nearest at the moment is Leeds,20 miles away.
I always used to fill up with diesel in France but last trip I was shocked at the increase in price €1.45 ish in supermarkets up to €1.68 elsewhere.€1.45 is not far off UK Asda price so since my Mondeo has around 800 miles range I filled up in my usual place near Pamplona and rolled off the ferry with around 100 miles left.
