Re: Fuel rationing in france..
All seems ok in the SW France (Pyrenees) filled up this morning ready for the HISS, no queues or any problems.

Re: Fuel rationing in france..
Ok, so in the Vendee it would appear that the panic buying has reached us! Nearest garage is €20 diesel and €30 petrol maximum buy! Apparently no real reason for this but I would suggest get fuel when you can. Local garages to me (85320) are rationing fuel!
Not all those wandering are lost

Thanks for the heads up. I'm in the North with 6 other bikes tomorrow.

Re: Fuel rationing in france..
Someone I know got off the ferry at Calais this morning heading back to Spain and said 'about 90% of the garages were closed and the rest had huge queues'.
Current bike is a Yamaha T7
Re: Fuel rationing in france..
You must be on a 640 because 350 miles is something the gauge tells me I'll get straight after filling my 1190 but the reality is just over 200 miles and it's time to find some fuelBobH wrote:Thanks Alan, will arrive with full tank, that should get me 350 miles south.
Yep, not on the DR this time, KTM Adventure time.
