Anyone know the latest price for petrol in France and the toll costs from Calais as far as wherever you branch off to Geneva. I'm trying to cost driving vs flying for the week before easter ... left it late and the flights have all gone through the roof.

This is a list of petrol prices
http://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/
last time I filled up Diesel was 1.0 per litre and petrol around 1.20 per litre but those are supermarket prices. Add 10c for autoroutes.
Tolls? No idea but probably about 50 euros from Calais to Geneva.

Tolls would be 61.90 euros each way, assuming you took the most direct route via autoroutes

SMALLZOOKEEPER, If the scam involves buying two day trip tickets from the two different companies that run the ferries it doesn't work anymore as they surcharge you 80% if you don't use the return trip as intended - the surcharge doesn't apply on a longer trip away despite what the terms and conditions say.
Boris, Don't forget you need a Vignette once in Switzerland. I costed everything and can still do it by car for about one third the cost of flying for Me, DH and the two kids and you have the convenience of having the motor at the other end and being able to take more or less what you want as you have the load space.

Megamum, Surely you only need a Vignette if you use the motorways in Switzerland.
Mitchell, It's a motorway permit that lasts a year. Not too expensive but a good wheeze for the Swiss with tourists.

On the motorway diesel is 114/117 petrol 124. Off the motorway around 10c cheaper.

SMALLZOOKEEPER, Allways interested in a scam.  Especially after the autoroute scammed me when my toll box did not register getting on, but did getting off. They charged me for the whole length of an m-way I did about 40K on.

Just got back from Les Carroz. Petrol is 1.25 in town and up to 1.40 on Autoroute (95 RON). Supermarkets or branded stations makes no difference. Diesel is about 1.10 I think.
On our trip out Le Havre (town) and Autoroute prices were very similar at around 1.24 until we reached Nemours (ish) south of Paris, then Autoroute prices increased the further south we travelled. On our return the prices were up to 1.40 all of the way so they must (probably) adjust their prices according to the volume of (holiday) traffic. We travelled out 16 Dec, returned 22 Dec.

Paid 1.05 for diesel in the SuperU in Bourg St Maurice. Cheaper than at home I think.
