Yeah, but most people do not go to france for their booze and
baccy. If if is more profitable to buy your fuel in france and do
your driving in the UK, then every company should be doing it, so
they would sell no fuel to HGV drivers.

But you've not done the maths. 8MPG, 400-500l tanks.

900 mile range.

Tell me how its
viable for any company save those based or having loads in the SE?

So how is it viable for Johnny Foreigner? C'mon, Conor, surely the
same basic maths apply...?

They run 1500 or 2000 ltr tanks filled up in eastern european countries
where thier fuel costs are far lower any cross border deliveries become
far cheaper , most things in the uk are imported .

They can have ranges well over 3000 miles , even if they need to buy
desiel on the return leg in the european mainland they only need to
buy enough to travel to thier home country
