Might have only been for diesel. But I was finding that tanks full of fuel in France or Spain were doing a lot more miles than in the UK all year round . Through the 90s I was doing hundreds of thousands of miles around UK and Europe & noticed the difference a lot .
I can concur with that! I used to find the same thing when coming over here on trips before moving, & filling up in France.

At the time, a friend had an Alfa 155 (2-litre petrol engine) - the same as myself - and he had exactly the same experience.
