I have to disagree. I travel a lot to the UK and I have to say to say that the UK is the far the most expensive country regarding fuel. |

Sorry to burst your bubble Eric, but here are the prices of diesel first:-Belgium £1.42.... France £1.35.5. Nederland £1.35.
Petrol (unleaded). Belgium £1.39.5. France £1.43. Nederland. £1.66. These prices are worked out on the £ versus € , at exchange rate of €1.06 to the £. I am paying £1.257 at Asda by me, so quite a hike in price when travelling to Europe. Diesel has been as much as 17 cents per litre cheaper in Europe a few years back compared to GB. Not any more. I can understand why the yellow jackets got their nickers in a twist in France the way prices have gone up over there..

I'll will fill at Folkstone, simply because it's one less thing to worry about over the weekend.. probably here https://stores.sainsburys.co.uk/0057/west-park-farm because being 8 mins from the Euro tunnel terminal it would be a good place for the group to gather on Friday morning so that we can all arrive together. Cheers
