I am tempted to do a Swiss trip at some point - I was too young to remember my previous trip

I'd like to do another one too, if this Volcano business continues until September, which could be possible if it keeps going like the other one did for 10 years! trip to Japan in maybe a road trip!  ;D
Reckon my flight to Spain in a few weeks may be a drive to Spain.  Save getting a hire car ;D

My trip to Cyprus, thats a bit more difficult  :'(

Easy enough!!. Down Italy and cross on the ferry. Know someone who did it.  ;)

Almost pay for gas conversion in one trip!

Not thought of that route! Was thinking Greece/Turkey, then ferry.  Thats doable, reckon 2.5 days to bottom of Italy, plus whatever the ferry takes.  Likely to go in to Limasol, which is fairly central, Coral Bay around 2.5hrs from Limasol as a guess (motorway all way now I believe)

If you use any peage autoroutes (toll roads) watch your speed. The Gendarmes are not averse to checking your toll ticket and working out your average speed, then booking you if it's too high !!!

Best place for fuel of any sort is off the autoroutes to a hypermarket. If you have a sat nav you can download POI's for hypermarkets here ..

I always tend to stop once between tolls on the longer stretches, be it for fuel, her to use the facilities, or to get a coffee/food.  Then I tend to play 'catch-up' before getting to next booth ::)

Probably not a bad idea. They still have little village garages in France who know their onions (no pun intended) and charge reasonable money. And they should be familiar with pug tractors.
