From my newsletter last Sunday:
Gas is still cheaper on the Dutch side. They are charging about 1.75 NFl per liter and offering an exchange rate of 1.75 NAFl per dollar, essentially $1.00 per liter, if, and it should be a big IF, they do the exchange rate correctly. Short of carrying a calculator, a ten dollar bill is 17.50 NAFl which is 10 liters or about 2.6 gallons. The tanks on small cars are about 10 gallons, so $40 should fill a small tank. Thirty dollars would be 52.5 NAFl, and get you almost 8 gallons. While the Dutch side is cheaper, Cadisco is selling gas at a few pennies over a dollar at their Orient and Marigot stations where they do one to one on the euro. Thus, your savings on a full tank of gas might be a quarter. Other stations on the French side are selling gas for 90 to 95 euro cents, but not doing one to one, so at 1.15 $/€ they are no bargain either and there is always the conversion problem.
