France Fuel Problems

Popped into the huge E. Leclerc, Outreau, Boulogne-sur-Mer and their fuel station was also closed and coned off.

We have more then enough to get us back to Morrisons, Blighty 🙂
 
2 Belgiums short on fuel and struggling to find some here in the Camping Car Park aire at Bray Dunes 😱
 
Every fuel station travelling back to Calais from Bray Dunes including the ones on the A16 where closed / coned off yesterday.

We had enough to get us to Morrisons, Canterbury and it a good job because Jubilee Way ( the big hill ) was closed because some clown tied himself to a bridge over the road protesting about Police brutallity.

Just when you think it can't get worse . Police beating up clowns !
 
I filled up once more today near St Nazaire. No problems and no closures at any filling stations I’ve been past today

€1.87. is more expensive than we have been paying recently. That is after the 30c discount from the government.
 
Just came through from Brit Government so it must be true-ish ;)

I’ve finished my travels for this year. Yes, there appears to be some supply issues, every Total service station I’ve passed in the past week have been closed. Then yesterday I went into a LeClerc to refuel and the pump said €50 - fortunately it automatically clicked off after €120 :cool: as I didn’t notice. I hadn’t filled it by then, but it mattered not, I just filled fully brimmed at the next place. Prices have risen though:confused:
 
I'm in Brittany and there don't appear to be fuel shortages here. The price has most definitely gone up but still cheaper than the UK by some margin 👍

My experience in the past week was that some Total stations were closed, some sold out of certain fuels, others fully open. I filled with diesel at Saint-Jouan-des-Guérets last Sunday afternoon, at which time only diesel and LPG were available.
 
I found tha diesel prices varied wildly throughout France but did manage to get some through Total Energies stations at a very reasonable 1.56€ without having to queue then not long after that they all stated to run out. Overall it averaged 1.85€ at supermarkets and over 2.00€ on the motorway/peage.

I also found GPL at 0.56€ in the Auchan at Montluçon which is way cheaper than Blighty but nearly came unstuck when i ended up on the roof parking then had to come back down the one way up ramp because there are width restriction posts to get off it the proper way o_O

The height barries to stop large vehicles going up there had been locked open and the warning signs were well overgrown in the bushes/trees

Thankfully is was early morning but it still gave a couple of the superb French drivers a scare as i was coming down 🤣
