In Sweden you can only buy sulphur free class diesel - its price is approximately 30% higher than yours in the UK.

The industry is a broad church and there are understandably differing views on the red diesel issue. I can only say that the BMF has been strongly and widely praised for the work that we have done, in partnership with the RYA, to mitigate the impact that the immediate and abrupt loss of the derogation would have on the industry and the boating market. We now have strong support for our position from politicians and government officials.
