Prices in Europe? You don't get out much do you? Well, we stopped for gas before heading for the site. Price is 1.114 Euros/L. . . . low grade. 1 Euro slightly more than 1 USD. There is a reason a lot of people ride bicycles and those that own a car have small one. A Firefly is a "big" car compared to what they have here. Pretty much all the techs/Engineers here bicycle to work, some as far as 16 km away. In general, things are more expensive than in Canada. The one meal I pay for in the day usually runs me around 15 to 25 Euros depending on what I get. Apparently things are "cheaper" in Germany, or so I'm told.
