Alan,
I don't understand it other than to say I was pleasantly surprised on Sunday
when leaving Southern Ireland to be told I could have a duty free rate as my
next destination was the UK. Why I haven't got a clue but I signed a
declaration to say I was off to the UK. (AVGAS)
BTW the cost was 1.32 Euros a LTR not sure what that is.
Mogas BTW is cheap anyway at about 60p per ltr or so.
