Followup on the Deauville fuel situation, it seems it's more of an issue around AirBP supply in Europe as opposed to AirTotal supply. AirBP can't keep up production with demand and it's a widespread problem but whether any particular field is completely out or rationing seems to be a local matter. Both Deauville and Dieppe seem to be served by AirBP and have this problem.

Try checking out the following link on another forum where I asked the question and was given a place to go look for answers:

In that thread you will find this posting, which has a link which will show you fields served by AirTotal (on your route, Le Touquet, Le Havre).

"In France, to know where are Air Total pumps and where Air Total cards are accepted for payment: please consult:

http://www.total.fr/fr/total.nsf/VS_...E?OpenDocument

Click on the right side on : Carte interactive, Stations d'aviation ....
Red dots : Avgas, blue ones: Avtur, between brackets: automatic vending pumps 24hr a day.
Click on the airfield location...."

The link works pretty well. Good luck and let us know what you find, please! News from people who've had feet on the ground is always appreciated.

Cheers,
