Hi all,

The french gvt will lower the tax a bit on fuel (3-4 cents). On top of that Leclerc will sell fuel at cost price. All the others will probably follow.

Another good deal in France now, it's the new brand "Total Access": Total fuel quality for supermarket price. It's only around big cities (not highway) so they garantee having many customers.

Have fun !

for those heading over i brimmed up yesterday at l'eclerc for 1eur35 , the village Total station is currently 1eur58 .
guess the biggest plus is the exchange rate meaning £1.08 ish a litre , ,nice touch

1€35 ?? that cannot be 98 ...

Plus, I never tank at Leclerc, many issues with water in the diesel.
Avoid as well Esso express, ranked as the worst fuel supplier ...
