Petrol Stations in Portsmouth

Thanks for all your help guys

Hello Mr H. I just noticed your post 10th June (Monday).

Instead of leaving the M271 for the ferry port at Junction 2, continue to Junction 1. Keep to right lane and then after a few yards of dual carriageway go round the roundabout to come back towards the ferry port. There is a Shell garage where you can drive in and out quite easily. Two minutes from the ferry port as the crow flies.

You mean M275. The M271 runs down to the western docks at Southampton.

Is that not the petrol station I mentioned? 🤔

Yes of coarse. (Typo)

Yes. I hadn't seen your post.

I think the last time used it there was a cinema at the roundabout & the Tricorn was still in use 😉

I cannot believe that when it came down there were those who thought it had architectural merit and should be preserved. It was dreadful when it went up and didn't improve with age.

Not being sure if you're going to France or Spain from Portsmouth but if you are going to Bilbao I would suggest you get your tank as low as possible before boarding the ferry and fill up in the port at Bilbao. The filling station is just after you get off the boat before you leave the port and is the cheapest I have ever found in Spain.

It was €1.07 lit for diesel end of April when we came back

Wow! That's about as cheap as Luxembourg was last week.
