Bulges in your tyre walls are VERY dangerous (normally happens when you hit a curb or the like at mod/high speeds) – though $185 pounds is far excessive for a tyre….what were you driving? a Lamborghini?

Comment on Q&A What can I expect to pay for petrol in Europe? by John

John — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:04:07 +0000

Just paid an average of 1.16 euro/liter ($US5.41/gallon) for diesel in France over the last four weeks. This was at Le Clerc or Intermarche Supermarkets where the price was approx. $0.10/liter cheaper than other gas stations. Auto-route prices are generally higher still. Spain(Barcelona)was 1.12 euro/liter ($US5.22/gall) again at a ‘discount’ station.
Tip 1: Look for ‘long distance overnight truck-park’ locations. There will generally be cheaper prices closeby.
Tip 2: Always check if your Credit Card is accepted before filling up. US issued MasterCards (& others that do not have the embedded chip) are not accepted in many places especially at the ‘automatic’ pumps. Can be a bit of a problem late at night.

Be aware when hiring a car particularly from Europcar that you make sure not only are there no dents on the car that are not written on your agreement but also check the tyres. I had a bulge in a tyre – didn’t realise it was an issue (read dangerous) was advised some time into my journey by relatives that it was and needed replacing. Paid 185 pounds for a new one and Europcar wouldn’t come to the party as I hadn’t notified them of this within the first 24 hours of hire. I didn’t know the bulge was a problem – they gave the car to me in an unsafe condition and I drove it for 1000 miles before I found out that it could have caused a blow out!! No more Europcar for me – had a problem with them in Australia too.
