Davy

All good Thanks

No problems since my first post on this.
Used it today for fuel in Riom en Montagnes and food yesterday in Lidl Usselhn
And used it earlier in the week in a big Intermarche.
Also used Jaja for.fuel a week ago near Tours

 

[TeamRienza]

Good to hear that. We hope to return to France again in sept with our combination of Starling and Jaja cards, I have been moving money into my euros account in anticipation whilst the rate is €1.19, the best rate in 5 years, although it did touch €1.20 briefly in April just before our first trip.

Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep posting.

Davy

Thanks and you when yo go.
I also follow the rates.
Does not change your way of life but.....
Diesel was just over 2 euros today 2.01 I think which on my conversion app is just shy of £1.70.
But paid from my euro account again I think I got 1.18 euros.

So a question
Anyone purchased fuel in FRANCE using starling debit card.
.any info much appreciated. Thanks
Eg LeClerk or Super U

If you make it down to Spain, I don't know why but we were getting a great discount at Repsol garages, it could just the fact we were spending over a 100 euro at a time, it was advertised as at E1.95 per litre but when I went to pay they would tell me to be patient, tap the calculator a few times and knock off about E16.00, so I would get the gazole for about E1.72 about £1.45 a litre.

If you make it down to Spain, I don't know why but we were getting a great discount

It's due to the Spanish Government Tax cuts

Spanish government to extend 20 cent discount per liter of fuel until September

Pedro Sánchez says decree also includes aid for transport sector and lower taxes on electricity bills

If the French let us through, we will take advantage. Gracias Pedro.

Very very nice drive today via St Flour (aka Saint McDougall) and then on past Saugues.
Aire in Saugues too hot (tarmac no shade) So we drove on to here.
We are off the tarmac and under trees so cool.
Near the road but expecting it to be quiet enough overnight.
Working borne in Saugues and free. Looked like a very nice town


I'm here now: Le Pique Nique . East of Saugues 2 August 2022. Click this link om://gyq7rOoViN/Le_Pique_Nique_._East_of_Saugues_2_August_2022 or this one https://omaps.app/gyq7rOoViN/Le_Pique_Nique_._East_of_Saugues_2_August_2022 to see the place on the map.

Is the leisure battery ok?

 

[jagmanx]

Yes thanks Gordon
Leisure batteries typically at 13.5 during the day and 12.8 at night.
A pair only of 100amp hour units from Alpha
2 years old and never allowed to run low.
I will bear this in mind so thanks again

Fridge behaving itself in al 3 modes (4 if you count 0 or off )
Very short drive today to Seure and one pof the "Camping-car park" places.
Almost 14 euros plus the £5 registration fee.
A bit of a performance to register and pay. Not helped by bright sun on the screen..
Sorted with a telephone call w here the agent could help and we could both see the same display.
Card duly spat out and used to raise the barrier. I now have the app on my phone as well.
Good new ICT delivery.
Camping are very large with excellent ombrage and pitches with grass alongside.
14 here but well spaced out and room for maybe 7 more. We are close.to the river.
