O.T. Attn German listers, Price of Diesel?

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

?1.12/l for unleaded gas in Germany.
<http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/fuel/motfue001.html>

1 US gallon = 3.79 liters
<http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=1+gallon>

?1.12 x 3.79 = ?4.24/gallon for unleaded gas
<http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=1%2E12+x+3%2E79>

?4.24 EUR = $5.64 USD, assuming a really good exchange rate
<http://www.xe.com/ucc/>

With a fair exchange rate you will be paying $5.75 a gallon for unleaded, less for diesel.

At 22 MPG (what my C230 averaged on the autobahn at autobahn speeds) you will be paying $0.26 USD a mile for fuel alone! Add in a lot more for tolls if you travel outside of Germany. That $30 toll to drive from Copenhagen to Malm? is a killer!

Ugh!
