Unhappy Euro U/L fuel prices

Taking the ZTT to France for a week shortly and have done a current price checker. U/L anything between 1.22 and 1.35 e's per litre. Unless my sums are wrong that could be anything up to £1.20 a shot - and I thought we had it bad over here!!

Look on the bright side, you could be taking a 2.5 V6 or a V8!!!!!!!

you will have to get yourself a burner.
diesel only 96-98 cents a litre. approx £0.85p a litre at exchange rate of 1.15 e to the £.

And you'll fit in better with the French farmers and the tractors.

Petrol and Diesel prices have been rising again lately for no apparent reason

Not quite, I'll tell you one: greed.
Petrol here is about 0.9 Euro per litre and diesel 1.0, just because this is a "diesel country" You might think they are cheaper anyway, false, there are all kind of fancy taxes to level the balance with other european countries.
