Fuel Prices

[gasgas]

I’ve been on a few cruises calling in to various small islands in the middle of vast oceans and what I don’t understand is how come fuel is cheaper in for instance Madeira than in the UK ? Nothing to do with taxes I don’t suppose. . .

Diesel price has continued to come down in the month we've been in France. Making our way towards Calais now for the trip home, €1.929 (£1.66) at LeClerc in Boulogne today.
D'oh, only done 20 miles since I filled up at €2.07

We. are in France now and the prices are indeed coming down. I can't get why people are comparing different countries. They all have different tax systems and different price structures. Just buy the fuel you need and stop fretting! Enjoy the travelling!

 

[RSD7a]

Not fretting. It's quite interesting comparing what's happening in other countries

 

[mark61]

Some are travelling through the countries mentioned. Handy info for some.
No fretting and not interested in the individual tax system of the countries either. Not while on holiday.

 

[Val54]

Still well over €2.00pl in Corsica, the Auchan in Corti tomorrow will be a test of any falling prices.

But the tax system of each country will have an impact on the fuel price; and that tax %age rate will have a significant impact on the overall price per litre at the pump ...

But worried about the cost of fuel?

No simply sharing info, I wouldn't be in Corsica if I was worried .......

Places like Madeira receive big subsidies from the Portuguese and EU, so yes the taxes you pay on mainland keep prices down on islands.
