A mate of mine is mine n his way to Spain through France.
From Calais he is now around Tours and has stopped three times for fuel.
Not wanting to let the tank get to low.
No problems at all at any Peaje service station.
Sounds good to me, Eurotunnel in the morning at 06.30, Pyrenees here I come.
It'll be fine!!

Re: Fuel rationing in france..
Almost seems to have eased a little here in the Vendee. Calm before the storm perhaps?
This morning I filled both bikes and after, my jerry can for the mowers etc. There is still a €30 limit at some, but not all garages.

Tom & Gerry can

Rode from Chamonix to Calais over the weekend and most garages on the auto routes were open.Some of the services only had half the pumps working but finding fuel was not a problem.
Re: Fuel rationing in france..

Saintes to Spain tomorrow..... hope for more of the same......
Suspect the press scaremongering as usual..... nothing seems as bad as they would have us believe.....!!
