I am off to Scotland on Monday in the Plus Four. Topped up the tank yesterday with V-Power so £21 only needed.
Fuel stops planned on route as usual but will be trying to keep a decent amount in the tank at all times. Easier than living close to the edge. I normally use 250 miles for a full tank to refuel, leaving a liveable residual. This time I'll drop that 250 guide.
Locally here 95 octane is £1.52/l. V-Power yesterday £1.69/l at the Shell garage. I prefer the V-power and over the 19k+ miles so far it would have cost just under £200 more. Not a huge difference based on average cost/l prices over the 2+years. Some Supermarkets seem to have some shortages locally but others no problems.
Route up will be via mid Wales to pick up M6 at Warrington. I'll refuel at shorter stages at known petrol stations I've used before.
Scotland could be fun! Satnav to locate fuel stops but hopefully no scares. The unmanned cash/card pumps could be interesting.
Applecross has a community pump so if we go there it could be hit or miss?
