No wonder they are all driving tiny cars. Why is that pump along the street? That is weird looking but really neat. Thanks for sharing the picture.  |

I don't know! That's just how gas is.. I was walking along the street and didn't even see a "station" like how we get gas. lol. I was kind of thinking "what the heck..?" but I just snapped a picture because I was trying to get a taxi to take me back to the train station. Smart cars are pretty popular there, as is public transportation. I tried to limit my taxi riding and mainly take the Metro. Which is creepy.. but I lived. hehe.  |

How do they pay for the gas is there a small store near each one? |

There must be, but honestly a lot of stores looked closed there, but someone was getting gas.. so I was like hmph. Maybe you pay at the pump on the opposite side of where I took the picture? |

Okay, I googled it.. and it looks like there is a building that you can go in. I must have been in too big of a hurry and missed it. |

I think the 95 and 98 are the octane grades, similar to our plus and premium grades. I remember last year when our gas prices went way up, some of the UK area usmers were explaining how much higher their gas prices were.  |

You have to remember, that I got my car in March of 2007, had surgery the beginning of June in 2007th.. and have not been allowed to drive since because of my epilepsy. Therefore, I am not the one filling up the gas on this car, and do not know about it. |

Yeah...sucks to be on bad terms with people who supply us!  I knew it wasn't the demand so much as the fact that we are easily taken advantage of b/c we are all sheep.  |

The thing is though, they don't have to drive nearly as much as we do. I lived a year in Europe and never once needed a car to get anywhere I needed to go. I think the high prices are to push people into using public transport.  |
