I am taking the Z4 on a road trip to see some friends in Zurich, and driving across Northern France, into Switzerland, down to the Alps, the numerous passes and then down to Verona in Italy, and then up to Austria....

Worried about the fuel issues in France right now, as my Z will only do about 200 miles on a tank, and don't want to get caught short....think it's best to postpone the trip? Or not an issue?

Thanks.....

I would advise you to think of passing through Belgium then germany on your way down, my Father is on his way down to Visit me and did that route as there was talk of some rolling road blocks by truckers on the road down from Lille to Reims.

Here is a useful site that keeps you updated on the roads:

Could be an issue...Guess if you stick to highway, you could probably be ok but I would either drive down through Belgium and Germany instead of France or postpone it.... Range Rover Vogue ‘17 TDV6

Thanks guys, looks like I might just postpone....the Belgium/Germany route would add lots of time to my trip.....

Just Spoke to our house keeper down in the south of france, the local petrol station in the village has been out of diesel for 8 days and petrol for 6

Going the route of Brussels then Luxembourg will add an hour or two at the most and at least on the German side you get to stretch the legs of the Z!

I was going to take my razor, but maybe better take an extra one, although don't think they are quite as bad as german women!!
