I asked this question last week. Useful chaps, thanks. The PistonHeads fleet has nothing capable of much more than about 18mpg on a trip like this....

[lescombes]

Diesel is 90p litre on average at Le Mans..... yipee....a couple of places are 87p now for Dunkirk...oh its the same......better brim up before I get back to blighty...

E1.24 is about £1.09 so not vastly different to UK. Les than £2.00 per fill up.

Sorry, no euro symbol on my netbook

Cool - handy site. Doesn't look too bad for the camper after all .... as long as the driver can avoid trying to hassle 911s on the autoroute

See, that's what happens when the wife is nagging that 'you're on that bloody Pistonheads again aren't you?' and I'm trying to listen to what she is saying about going to Tesco. I meant less than £2.00 difference in a tank full. Unless you are filling the go-ped.

Presumably not in the Landie or the Brava

Great site for the prices - Difference is more than £2 a tank for me - Too scared to check on the MPG....

The Landie does 12MPG .... not sure it would make the distance between petrol stations on the autoroute either - always wanted to take it to Le Mans stickered up but it doesn't seem likely. As for the Bravo .... well, least said and all that!

We're in a Fiat-based camper that does 30MPG on DERV and carries 3 pushbikes for getting around once there .... and keeps the beer cold.

ETA ... and has a satellite dish - we must be getting old

Ouch, those prices are going to hurt at 9mpg from Calais to Le Mans with a 290 litre tank.
