Cheap Petrol From Europe

[rees_A]

I've got a plan, while I'm over in Europe picking up my job lot of cheap fags/beer, I'm thinking of taking a petrol taker and filling that up while I'm at it........Cheap petrol as well......Yippeeee....Do you think I'll be ok getting through customs if I say the petrol is for personal use???

as long as you pay the duty on it, why not. you wont have to pay the VAT bit.

Plus you can't bring a petrol tanker on the ferry or the tunnel.

I am not sure that it is much cheaper any more......certainly in France the diesel is about 70% of what we pay, but the petrol seemed to be of a similar price......but I may be wrong.......

Just buy a load of very cheap, nasty white wine and fill the bottles with petrol. Hopefully customs won't be able to tell the difference .

Does anyone know what happened with the European ruling that would decide whether we could get booze/cigarettes delivered direct by mail order, without Duty being added ?
(i.e its for personal use, no difference between us bringing it across channel or someone else on our instruction)

Maybee that can be used to allow me to buy a petrol tanker and deliver fuel that has been ordered by my mates at a discount ??
