French Petrol Prices

[Timja]

Anyone know what the current petrol price is in France for unleaded 95?

Here at Le Mans it is 1.38 euros a litre.

Is it best to use cash or card for the trip?. Somewhere I heard some garages its only card?.

Is this right or have I got it wrong?.

The myths seem to remain! Virtually all supermarkets now accept any card out of hours. Certainly at Le Mans, be it Carrefour, Leclerc, Super U or Auchan it's the case. However, during opening hours, which are 9-12.30 and 1400-2000 they accept cash. Moreover, at many supermarkets nowadays it recognises your card as english and the wording comes up in english!

When I went last year I kept using the card option - it worked fine I just wished we didnt have to make as many stops!
