Compare French petrol prices on the web

I HAVE written about it in the past but if you want to check the price of petrol then drop in on the Prix des Carburants en France site.

Petrol prices only seem to be heading north at the moment, with SP95 around €1.50 a litre, so the site may help you track down cheaper filling stations.

The site is run by the French government and collects data from thousands of filling stations across the country.

You can start your search via département, commune or postcode, with the results displaying the name of petrol stations and supermarkets closest to your chosen location and the individual prices per litre.

If you register an account with the site you can track prices over time at different stations local to you.
