Hello Bjorn,

WvV>> Recommeded prices for BP fuel:

WvV>> Euro unleaded 95:         EUR 1.679
WvV>> BP Ultimate unleaded 98:  EUR 1.749
WvV>> Diesel:                   EUR 1.429
WvV>> BP Ultimate diesel:       EUR 1.509
WvV>> LPG:                      EUR 0.839

Wilfred unluckily forgot to mention that the petrol is now mixed with
5 % or even 10 % bio-components, and the diesel with 7 %.
They are called E5, E10 or B7.

BF> I just checked a Swedish site, and it seems like the Swedish prices
BF> are around 20% lower than that.

Interesting.

BF> So the next time you take the car to Sweden, remember to come here
BF> with an almost empty tank.  8-)

That's simply to do.
The most North's place I haven ever been by car was in 1983 to Copenhagen in
Danmark about 800 km from Arnhem.nl. We took then the ferry to Rodby haven.
What is the distance from Kopenhagen to your city in Sweden?
And can that be done without taking a ferry? I thought that there are now more
long bridges to drive from Gemany via Danmark to Sweden in one direct way.
Is that right?
The longest distance I have ever made with my VW Lupo 3L is about 1650 km
at one single tankfilling of 42 Liters. Unluckily that's not possible anymore
as I can not get the original special Bridgestone B381 Ecopia 155/65R14/75T
tires anymore.
Now I am happy if the max distance I can drive lies between 1100 and 1300 km
per tank filling, inclusive using the expansion room of 9 Liters in the tank.
Otherwise it could only filled up to 34 Liters. I have a trick for doing that,
but you must then drive at least 30 km after filling before parking the car in
the hot sun.

One of the reasons for going to Sweden for me is the Gota Canal with the many
locks. But I do not know if that wish can be full filled once.
You may know that I am born and grown up at inland cargo ships here in NL.
Except for a windsurfboard I donot have a boat by myself,
but my brother has two inland ships, one tug and one old cargo ship,
now used for pleasure.

Greetings from Henri.
