is petrol cheaper or dearer in Europe?

Yes Tilly we bought this diesel specifically because it was "better for the environment". We bought it in 2013 and was virtually new. It's been well maintained but our next one will be electric.

€208

€208 Ireland

I'd recommend a hybrid. At least if the electricity is cut off or you need to go on a long journey, there is fuel in the tank to keep the car going.
So far it seems to be economical.

My daughter-in-law had a hybrid - an Audi which she liked a lot.
We have looked at those - but think we want an electric.
If there's no electricity we will just have to stay put!

Can't think where we might have to go that's not possible via public transport/taxi.

Here in Malta it is €1.34 per litre for unleaded petrol. The price is the same at all petrol stations

£1.94 Diesel here in Germany !

€ 2;29 . Crazy price !

This is a very good explainer from the BBC:

Why has UK diesel price hit an all time high?

The short answer is Putin and Trump but note the segment from the farmer concerned about fuel theft (which may have some relevance in the context of recent arrests at RAF Fairford).

The pound sterling is strong against the euro at the moment. Last week I bought SP 95 paid 2.15 at an Esso garage in Versailles. It was expensive but today it is 2.17 euros.

Google says €2.17 is equal to approximately £1.84 in British Pound Sterling

It was 1.34-1.49 euros in Malta a couple of weeks ago when I was there

£2.05 ltr diesel & £179.9 ltr petrol however per gallon it is still cheaper than beer!

Just noticed €2.19 unleaded in south east France. That’s about £1.86. Back in June I noticed it was about 10p a litre more in France than in UK. But the wine is considerably cheaper 🤣

We paid €2.12 a litre in Portugal on Saturday, on Sunday we paid £1.69 in our local (uk) supermarket.

£171.9 petrol and £196.9 diesel here in South Yorkshire. When I filled up on 28th it petrol was £169.9.

Thanks for the link. Actually provides facts rather than opinion.

Not a car driver but l was surprised by the UK position in this RAC table. I thought the UK would be in the top six.

just got back from 3 weeks in France prices crept up like here

It is disgraceful that, having encouraged everyone to buy diesel cars, they are now somehow the villain with an extra 5p tax.

I travelled to Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury and Conwy in the last month and found that Cambs seems to be cheaper than all those. I got petrol at £170.7, up 3p from my last fill 2 weeks ago. Diesel cheapest though is £198.9.

General news is that it is going to hold and slowly go down a little, but you can bet it will not sink fast - businesses will take the opportunity to make a little more on the forecourt.

In Greece it's around €2 a litre unleaded so similar price

Luxembourg 95 petrol is €1,89 = +/- £1,63

The ACL (our AA) publishes prices around Europe.

Filled up yesterday in north Scotland at £208.9, puts us off going out as everywhere is so far.

I live in Eindhoven in The Netherlands and we pay €2.39 which is equivalent to £2.02, with today's conversion.

We’re in a coastal town in the south west Here prices currently vary between £1.78 (Sainsbury) and £1.76 (the rest of the supermarkets) a litre for petrol. Thankfully our hybrid car is very economical for local trips.
