Subject: Re: France and Easter AND French Fuel


Hello Dirk,

In France, you can find three differents fuels (leaden or unleaded)

    French name              Color   Type
    ----------------------   -----   -----------
1/  "SUPER"                  RED     lead fuel
2/  "SP98" "Sans plomb 98"   GREEN   unlead fuel
3/  "SP95" "Sans plomb 95"   GREEN   unlead fuel

For my RD07a, I use SP95.
The difference beetween SP98 and SP95 is octane.
Also the unlead fuel is less expensive.

All gas stations on Motorways are opens on Sunday,
but if you use small road you can find near city everytime a Supermarket
The best price are in the BIG SUPERMARKET for gaz
(in French : Hypermarché) like CARREFOUR, AUCHAN, LECLERC...
Many time the SuperMarket are close on Sunday but you can use your VISA
Card.
You'll see an advertisement 24h/24 and CB (Carte Bleue) cards.

Good trip - Olivier
