i live in France and i am confused you say they are not a difference in E5 and E10 in price i can assure you they are
My 2018 Tiger 800 XRT is showing 60 mpg on the dash I wouid be interested to know what the dash of your colleague was showing during your trip.
Using sat Nav information, you can leave the motorway and find cheaper fuel and food just as at home.
Having filled both tanks rejoin.
Reference fuel prices for 98 & 95, we did see a similar price for both but generally they were different on our recent tour of Europe.
We usually avoid the motorway and submerge ourselves within the culture and yes, can take longer but usually distance is less.
Swings and roundabouts, main thing is that you enjoyed your trip.
Intrested to know the name of the music and artist you had on repeat for most of the trip?
You seemed to have noce weather and the accommodation sounds like good value for money.
Not sure if you have any more videos of the French trip, last I saw was version 6?
