How Much Does Gasoline Cost?
 

I am going to be in Bavaria in May and want to travel by automobile. What does a liter of gasoline cost?

Premium was $5.78 per gallon earlier this week. Last September it hit $6.71

Google "5.78 USD per gallon in euros per liter"

Yields: 1.265 Euros per liter (discarded the extra five digits of superfluous accuracy for you)...

Best wishes,

Rex

Someone posted a website recently giving a breakdown of the cost per litre for all the European countries. I'm sorry I didn't bookmark it.

If you are going to be in Germany, I would recommend requesting a diesel car. The fuel is less expensive than regular gas, and the mileage is much better. ((b))

The Euro-fuel price URL is:
http://www.iru.org/Services/Fuel/Welcome.E.html
Diesel fuel is about 10% less the regular gasoline, and diesel cars get about 10% better mileage. Together, 21% cheaper.

This site gives up-to-date pump price for unleaded, super and diesel at virtually every service station in Germany: http://www.clever-tanken.de/ Just enter the postal code (five-figure number) or the German name of a locality, choose the fuel type and click 'suchen' (search). It will be given in euro/litre. To convert into US$/US gallon, multiply by 1.20 (today's exchange rate) and multiply again by 3.785 (US gallon in litres). In Munich today, for example, the 'Normal' (ordinary unleaded) is around 1.25 euro/litre, which equals $5.67, 'Super' (super unleaded) at 1.27 euro ($5.77) and diesel (same name) at 1.10 euro ($5.00).

Tanks, Alec. As rex pointed out, Google will do the conversion for you. In the search blank, enter

1.25 eur/l in $/gal

... and hit Search.

Entirely too much.
