Question on European fuel prices and floodings. Making a road trip...

[Carotio]

I'm going on a road trip, and I was wondering if my fellow subsimmers from around Europe could tell me approximately how much the octan 95 cost in their respective countries, and if it's even called octan 95 or something else...

I'm interested in knowing the prices in:
Germany: Berlin, Dresden, Munich
Czech Republic: Prague
Hungary: Budapest
Romania: Timisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Bucharest, Constanta
Austria: Salzburg

Also, the floodings in the rivers in the last month. Has the water dissapeared from the flooded areas by now?

Thanks for replying in advance!

Hello Carotio.
Very happy to see you out of that sunken sub over at Ubisoft.

I am currently driving around the continent with my family.

The flooding is currently over, I did have to miss Prague and bravaria because of it though unfortunately. I did detour through Budapest, and I would really recommend it.

As for gas prices, we rented a diesel car, but trust me, the prices in Europe are a ripoff compared to what we get in North America.


Where is your starting point? How many people are traveling with you? any plans on where to go? I might be able to give some suggestions.

In my area (Lower Saxony) you'll have to pay around 1,55€ for a liter of 95 octane which is called "Super" here. There is also E10 which contains 10% Ethanol. Not all vehicles can stomach that so don't use it unless you're sure your car can handle it. It's a bit cheaper though.

I have been aboard a sunken sub for a long time.
I haven't played any SH game for three years untill about a month ago trying to make SH3 and SH4 run on my laptop.
So I haven't visited sub forums too much either. And ubi almost not at all for the past three years either.

Pitty to miss Prague. I hope it's over by now.
Yes, prices are different to those of America cause of different taxation systems.
I start in Denmark, driving towards Constanta going through the earlier mentioned cities and back again. And I did say I. I'm going alone. Sadly, no one either could or wanted to go with me. And yes, I have made plans allready as what to see. It's gonna be great, I think, if I don't have bad luck on the way.

Okay, 95 is super and for 1,55€ - that's about 11,70 DKK, so basically same price as in Denmark. And no, I'm not going to make experiments with my car... haha
In Denmark, there's always market competition going on regarding the prices, so they are at full price from 12 to 14, and then going slowly down untill 10 am next day, when the price rises to normal price and so on.

Maybe you have the same in Germany?

Anyway, going tomorrow to Berlin, so I probably should get some sleep soon...

Fuel prices have been the same here for weeks. So no competition at all. From my time in Denmark years ago, I know there were large differences in prices at the same day.

Regarding floodings, haven't seen here any. So you will be safe for the first 30 kilometers...

If you're going from Budapest to Salzburg, make a turn trough Slovenia. See the Alps

Gas is €1,495 per liter
