AAFES gas prices hit more record highs
Stars and Stripes
European edition, Friday, April 18, 2008

Pump prices will rise nearly 6 cents a gallon Saturday at most AAFES gas stations in Europe, hitting record territory for the third straight week.

Midgrade unleaded gas in Germany will climb 5.7 cents a gallon to $3.669 when the Army and Air Force Exchange Service adjusts retail prices at midnight Saturday.

Elsewhere in Europe, midgrade unleaded will hit $3.607 in the United Kingdom — a 5.8-cent increase — and a whopping $4.256 a gallon in the Netherlands.

Motorists with diesel cars will fare even worse, with prices going up 10.4 cents in all countries except the Netherlands, where prices will climb 13.3 cents to $4.684 a gallon.

Gas prices at U.S. military bases are still a bargain when compared to prices on the local economy. This week, the price of regular gasoline in London was 1.0794 pounds per liter, or about $8.30 a gallon. After conversion, diesel prices were $9.01 a gallon.
