Fuel prices not so Bad in Europe, with Euro being better value
many fillups at 1.30ish Euros = £1.05 a litre!!
used 665ish litres
and quick rough calc, no more than £780 spent on Diesel
(last year to Pyrenees we went about 100 miles further and were getting better mpg without RTT - but due to Euro-pound and maybe higher fuel prices, but mainly exchange rate spent £100 more on fuel last year!)
Ferry was "free" as all covered by Avios
campsites about 13-20 euros a night, we had about 6 wildcamps
