DennisGardiner is on a distinguished road
Just came back from driving a rent Opel in Germany for 5 days.

$7.21 per gallon, once I do the Dollar to Euro conversion and the Liter to Gallon conversion.

I guess I can not complain as much as I did two weeks ago!

BTW, a guy in Holland blamed us "Yanks" for driving up their gasoline costs??

What can I say?

My rent Opel got incredible fuel mileage as long as I kept it under 130 kph. Once I got over 150 kph the mileage dropped fast.

Once I got her up to 215 kph on the way back from Berlin. Let's say, I use a 1/4 tank in a very, very, very short period of time.

Oh, BTW even at 215kph (approx 134 mph) the Audi drivers were still on your back bumper.

Car I had. 1.8L Opel Zaphira.
