Cheapest gas in town

I was surfing radio stations while driving to Heidelberg for a meeting today. I picked up the American Forces Network. (There is a base in Heidelberg).

Gasoline at the US base apparently costs $2.66 per gallon for unleaded, which converts to less than 0.50€ per litre. The price is around 1.30€ per litre outside the base. I suppose this is a reflection on how much gasoline is taxed in Germany.

Other announcements include the exchange rate ($1 = 0.69€...yikes), a wine tasting course for those who want to learn more about German wine, and tickets for an upcoming ZZ Top concert can be purchased at the USO office in town. How about the Rod Stewart concert in June?
