Speaking as a long time Bandit 1200 owner, that would have had me
walking. 100 miles to reserve means any chance of fuel from 80 miles
onwards ... we're in there.

Well, this was in the centre of Mulhouse, so you would've been alright. It
seems city centre stations have gone and you need to go to the 'burbs to
find a hypermarch�. Not unlike here, I suppose with the added economic
effect of CH a few km away with petrol at 90p a litre.

similar price in Lux, plus they don't want any road tolls or vignettes.
Never went there before this year and they have some excellent roads in
the Ardennnes corner, at least
