A scary observation

  • I drive my current lease car since the summer of 2003
  • During that time, I've driven nearly 40.000 km per year
  • I visit the gas station for a full tank of gas on average 44 times per year
  • My car has a 50 liter tank, which I roughly fill up each time
  • Since 2004 prices for a liter of diesel fuel have risen nearly 20 percent, from under 0.90 EUR/l to 1.07 EUR/l today.
  • A full tank of gas costs on average EUR 41 back in 2004. Now it's EUR 49.
  • On a yearly basis fuel prices for the car have risen EUR 350.

Conclusion: I am very happy my fuel costs are paid for by my employer.
