The lower cost of Unleaded Fuel

is negated if you happen to drive a diesel engined car.
Not only this but should one mistakenly use the wrong pump and one is En France sur les Vacances, one will find oneself adding approximately €500 to le cost de ces vacances.

On the other hand - if one takes a full-board option, one does not need to buy lunches sur les pistes thus making a considerable cost saving over someone staying in a chalet - plus there is no compulsory night out as the chalet maid is off - thus leaving one plenty of euros with which to line the culottes de le local monkey de spanners de voiture.

I suppose, condensing this rather reflective post one could say:
If you go on holiday to france, choosing the full board option is potentially better for the local automotive industry if you happen to be a pillock.
