Driving to Austria, Half Term

Wonder if anyone can tell me the relative petrol prices on our route through
Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria? ISTR hearing that Luxembourg
has cheapest petrol? So we could aim to refuel there perhaps. Can do 400
miles between refuelling stops and would want to use Motorway services,
daytime.
Thanks and cheers, Mike

http://www.aaroadwatch.ie/eupetrolprices/ is usually good for
comparison purposes, although motorway prices will tend to be higher
than those quoted and 'cheap' places in town somewhat lower.

Seems that at the moment out petrol prices here (Switzerland) are as
low as Luxembourg, and Austria is currently slightly lower.

Here in Austria today diesel is ?96.9. That was at Jet- that seems to be the
cheapest around this area- Salzburg area.

Lux has very much cheaper petrol (and ciggies & booze if you are so
inclined!). There is a huge motorway service area just inside Lux once you
cross from Belgium. Not much else without coming off the motorway so make
sure you don't miss it!

I lived just south of Munich for many years, unfortunately returning to UK
12 months ago. German fuel is now very expensive and I always made sure
that I left Austria with a full tank!

Personally I always found the best route to be: Calais, Lille, Mons, Liege,
Aarchen, Köln, Frankfurt, Würzburg, Nürnberg, München to be the fastest
route to the Tyrol.

Two beers and a gluhwein will eradicate any saving you've made on
petrol, so why not just fill up when you need to and forget how much it
all costs. Skiing has never been cheap
