Well we are settling in nicely in spite of all the crazy inconveniences of an international move.
One thing we have learned is be flexible. One thing to note is that gas in Germany is EXPENSIVE!
That is why we really appreciate the subsidized gas we had the opportunity to buy. To give you an idea here is what it would normally cost:
A normal car has about a 20-30 gallon tank. Gas is sold here by the liter not the gallon.
That means that your 20 Gallon tank is 20 x 3.78 = 75.6 Liters. That is a our starting point
now figure that the average price of unleaded gas is about 1.43 Euro. We also will use the dollar
to Euro exchange rate to get comparable price denominated in Dollars, $1.37 to 1.
Price per Gallon
3.78 x 1.43 x 1.37 = $7.40 per gallon
Average fillup will cost you
20 x 7.40 = $148
Ouch, is right which is why we appreciate the chance that we have as military members to buy the gas at US prices.
