Gas is extremely expensive this moment, in the past it went up
and down with the US dollar.
Now the dollar is low, the Euro is high and still the prizes
are rizing. I don't have a clue why, but one thing is sure, I
cannot change that;-)

I guess it is true that one learns something new everyday. I've
always thought that many/most/all European countries had very
heavy taxes on gas. It was certainly true in West Germany when I
was there circa 1971.

I will find them later these day, I'm away this evening.

Hope you find them interesting.

Very interesting, thanks.

It was fun while it lasted, but I think I have to gracefully bow
out. I made a mistake in posting over the limit. I thought I'd
apologized my way out of that as I wasn't THAT much over, but
some people seem to want to make an index a condition of me
posting even 50, and that's just more work than I'm willing to
take on to share a few car pictures.

But, I do take requests. I doubt that you're that interested but
if there are specific cars you're interested in, perhaps I could
E-mail you some or we could find a neutral venue someplace for me
to post them.

Have a great week, Bouler, and I certainly look forward to seeing
a few of your pictures in this NG!

I had the most wonderful Peugeot for 25 years of luxury and
sports car like driving. It was a 78 station wagon, but it
drove so perfectly for all the time I had it. Cost very
little per year and I finally let it go after it sat in my
garage for another 2 years. I never drove a more comfortable
or better car and I have driven Mercedes, Toyota, and most all
of the usual cars.

I have many friends that also drive cars they like until the
proverbial wheels fall off. If one calculates the true cost of a
car as being the all-up cost/mile or cost/km driven, including
price, insurance, gas, etc., then the more miles the lower the
cost/unit driven gets. Now, me, OTOH, I like new cars and I like
spiffy cars, preferably that can move quickly and I am willing to
pay a premium for them. That may soon chance, of course.

Again, have a great day!

I think The Netherlands beats whole Europe wit his gasprize (maybe 50 %
tax;-(

Some people follow the rules exactly and I read you don't want to make an
index (two minutes of work;-)
Post 30 a day and you hear nobody complain.
But honestly I prefer indexes too and its no more than a few minutes of
work.

But, I do take requests. I doubt that you're that interested but
