This includes the online map of who's out, and who's low. Bit too close for comfort, but we've a couple of weeks.

Couple of weeks? I've only got a couple of days ;D
Best I fill up in Portsmouth before we catch the overnight ferry to Caen on Friday me thinks. Just in case.
Mind you there weren't any problems in the LM area last time so hopefully it'll all be ok.

The French usually cope, but a full tank should get you there, and then you can worry about getting back, or not as the case may be.

Blimey, that's a possible result (early days, I know!)
Addendum: Can't find any reference to the strike being halted, on the ol' interwebbythingy, as yet.......

Didn't have any problems going through Rouen yesterday. No roadblocks, no gas stations without supplies

There is no talk of a shortage here at Le Mans, although they are thinking of reducing the race to 12 hours if there is a problem :o
