Hot on the heels of my Dover/Calais by car thread,How far is the nearest and cheapest garage for diesel for my car once I get off the ferry?
Being a tight wad,I’m only filling my car in this country with enough to get me over the Channel,as Gordon has got enough out of me over the years,and then will fill up once there,and again upon returning.
Ken.
once through the port come off at jnt 3 and theres a total garage just off the jnt you will see it,just over a euro a litre nice food in there too try the baguettes

Only going to Euro Disney for a few days,and leaving blighty next Monday,so I’m guessing E15?
Ken.
Anyone know how much the diesel is at tesco next to the tunnel at folkestone? I filled up there in January as the autoroutes are pricey and the euro was about 1 for 1 then

A26 - A4. Unless you are taking the whole tight wad thing a step further and sticking to the nationals to avoid the tolls. 
went to france last year,and there was a bp garage just before the docks on the left,just before the ferry terminal heading west to east.fuel wasnt cheap,but neither expensive,and to be honest the fuel prices in france were much the same as in britain.i filled up there before getting on the ferry after running down from newcastle.
Just be careful if you are following Quinny to Eurodisney in your petrol car, the price of unleaded is normally more expensive than the UK. You can save a small amount in the supermarkets but not all can accept UK credit cards, carry some cash too.
last week i saw diesel for 96c so work out that in pence and its no different i don’t think, but be very careful on petrol as its about 1.36 a litre which is dearer than the uk

If you come off at j3 and take 1st exit towards Calais centre there is a hypermarket about half a mile up the road even cheaper.
This is interesting, Im off via Dieppe next week also. So i need a heads up on petrol also between Dieppe and Rouen.
Thx

As i found out on Tuesday when i pulled in to the Total next to the pidou. My Jag had a very short sip let me tell you. €1.18 i think i paid. 
Cheaper than Calais town tho.
Btw, You’re right about the rack on the dark haired girl.
Incredible. Prices for fuel are more here than even Sweden and Switzerland. Nice one Gordon. 
Check it out.

f you need petrol check out tesco before you leave the uk then do the conversion into euros because its between 1.20 and 1.35 a litre at the mo for 95oct.
