Have a good trip.

If you are driving through France remember fuel is a lot cheaper in Spain, there are always filling stations near the 1st exit from the motorway once in Spain, normally open 24/7. Also fags and booze is much cheaper.

Also watch the speed on the motorways, they can fine you for traveling to fast between tolls.

Motorway speed limits in Spain have recently been reduced, don't trust the tom tom on them.

Although there is no limit officially they strat to worry if you have more than 3000 fags per person, not sure on booze.

At the pumps in France, your offered SP98 and SP95-E10 (a 10% ethanol blend that isn't recommended in many older cars). Is E10 ok/recommended in our ZSes?

I wasn't aware that maybe it wasn't ok and been using the cheaper E10 for 3 years here without batting an eyelid! I guess that mine has been running fine all this time testifies it's ok. Any thoughts from the experts?

I had forgotten that but as my trips in or through France only require a maximum of 2 fill ups I tend to go for SP98 anyway.
