  • Footage shows hooded man filling up council wheelie bin with unleaded petrol
  • He walked the stolen petrol out of the forecourt before returning later on
  • The Co-op station in Washington, Tyne and Wear said he stole £143 worth of fuel
  • Comes as price of petrol has rocketed amid Russian energy sanctions
  • Unleaded price in North East was 152.4p/litre at time of theft - but Co-op is currently charging 163.9p
 
We are in the south of France at the moment in Sommieres. There are a few problems now here for parking. The new Mayor has hight barriered all the parking places where motorhomes parked. We filled up yesterday 2.28 litre. The difference in price from when we came last September is an extra 40 euros to fill the tank. It hurts the pocket but still consider cheap for what we do. There are no pockets in a shroud!

Is the aire outside the municple campsite now height-barriered ?

It`s one of our favourite places and don`t know what we`ll do without one of the hot chickens on sale at the Brocante every saturday o_O
 
Netherlands is 2.05 euro at the moment but UK is £1.70, which is basically 2 euro's too.
Just staying nearer to home. Booked my P&O ferry quickly before prices go up with my Tesco vouchers and driving to the Netherlands next month with the kids. Will be using the bike there more anyway : )
 
From a Portuguese resident 3 days ago:-

"I’ve been receiving €5 a month for a while now to offset fuel prices. The govt. has just raised this allowance to €20 p/month & are cutting vat on fuel. Força Portugal".

Nice to be able to do that. Post covid, re arm, and sort out the NHS.
Can’t see Sunak being able to do any of that. These be difficult times.
It’s staying cheerful that keeps me going 🙄

There are now signs in that carpark saying No MotorHomes. The service point has gone. The other place across the river where MotorHomes could park has now got hieght barriers prohibiting MotorHomes from accessing. Basically there is no where to park except for the old Intermarche across the road from where you used to be able to park across from the river. At the moment there are gypsies on there and has been for at least a month.

What nonsense! I Just drove through France to Andorra this weekend. Never paid more than €1.92 per litre, or £1.62.

Be smart, keep your eyes open or use the websites that others have said.

And if you make it to Andorra, you can fill up for £1.35/L and it will all feel worthwhile ;-)
 
Motorway prices for diesel on our trip today were 2.254€ in 2 or 3 service stations and 2.30€ in another!!!

Sod this, said I, we'll get some when we get off the motorway near our site for the night. As we approached the village I saw the petrol station and a feeling of smugness came over me...






until...






I saw the price - 2.36€ a litre

So we are on fumes tomorrow now until we come across another filling station.

Main roads/motorways were slightly cheaper the further we headed north but still around the 2.15€ mark!
