Car in France:
What awaits the owner of personal vehicles
For the year of owning a car in France, I can draw some conclusions as to how the possession of a "means of heightened danger" in this country differs from Russia.
Even if you rent a car for the duration of your vacation or for a short time you arrive in your car from Russia and other former Soviet republics, it will be useful to know some features of using personal transport.
Fuel
If you do not own a car with an electric motor, then sooner or later you will have to use the services of local gas stations. Prices for gasoline and diesel fuel in France are much higher than in Russia. In the photo below you can see the prices at one of the gas stations of Menton.
Having translated these prices into rubles, you can see that the price is about 2 times higher. "Gasoil" is a diesel. Why prices are such, we will not find out. Take it as a fact. The cost of fuel, by the way, includes transport tax, which in Russia is charged separately from car owners.
In France, it is customary to first refill the car and then pay. At the same time, almost everywhere the car is filled by the driver himself, even at large gas stations of famous companies.
Most cars in France are diesel. It is quite explainable, proceeding from the prices for fuel and profitability of diesel engines, and also their resource. I myself was able to verify this when I moved to a diesel car in France. On the highway, fuel consumption is about 5 liters per 100 km! Tank is enough for 1000 km. the way! This is a minivan with a 2-liter turbodiesel. The engine at the same time is practically not audible, as by the car with the petrol engine! Injectivity at the same time is very high. In general, modern diesel engines are an excellent choice. They cost, however, more expensive, but it is quite justified.
Parking
Parking in cities always causes a lot of negative emotions. Free space, especially in the city center, is difficult to find, even in paid places. These places are usually labeled PAYANT. In France, a lot of underground parking. Often this is the only way. Many underground parking lots have special boards showing how much space is currently available.
