was in france last week, teh fuel was 1.44 euro/litre for "normal" and 1.51 euro for premium which comes out at slightly less than UK prices however.....
to travel on the motorway from calais to Paris ( ~ 200 miles) cost another 20 euros in tolls. I know you can make it on non toll roads but there is only 1 toll motorway I'm aware of in the UK and thats only to avoid potential Q's rather than any actual replacement of the main route.
Thing is its now costing me ~ 400 pounds a month just in diesel to get to work without all the other running costs of my car. not good but we dont appear to be alone in this apart from those on the wrong side of the Atlantic...
