Re: Motor insurance
Reading this reminded me of an email I got from my car insurance recently. The point of the email was just to mention that car insurance costs have gone up by average of 43% in the last year which is quite frightening! My insurance is not due until next month and I have changed my car since the last renewal so I am expecting bad news. Having said that the OP's insurance has more than doubled in price which seems at odds with the "average increase" mentioned by my insurers. In the past when I have got quotes from the Club for motor insurance I have never found them very competitive.

Re: Gas bottles
I agree that the Alde can get through a lot of gas, but we find the opposite regarding operation. Ours will only use gas if it has no electricity, or when starting to heat and the weather is very cold. It prioritises using electricity, and of course it cannot use gas at all unless gas is selected on the control screen.
Re: Scotland to Spain and return costs.
Portugal was the cheapest fuel, then Spain. Depending of course where you filled up, we did see some places at the 2€ mark but declined to use them. France was a bit cheaper on the way home than on the way down.
Have a good trip.
Re: Scotland to Spain and return costs.
In September, UK was slightly cheaper than France and Spain with France being the most expensive. I did see it over 2 euros a litre in France but the most I paid was 1.979 euros a litre. At the time UK was £1.539 per litre.

Re: Scotland to Spain and return costs.
I can give you prices for France as we live here it was 2 days ago in our area the LOT 1.75 to 1.80 euros a litre but if you use Total garages they are at least 15 to 20 cents a litre more but they have guaranteed the price will not be above 2.00 a litre for the next few months, also some areas a a few cents cheaper.
