Might as well start with the cost of gasoline. I was chatting with Germany on Skype this weekend and I reported Alaska regular gas is now up to $4.09 per gallon; my German friend reported Euro 1,53 per liter, which one web site converts to $9.00 per gallon ($8.9964).
What do you pay in Poland at the moment?

Poland reporting. I drive diesel which is 4.45 PLN, but gasoline is around the same. 1 Euro = 3.35 PLN. I live to more mathematically inclined person calculating how much per gallon that might be and in USD.

KAI; To answer your question about the price of gas in Poland.
Here is a post from a guy who just returned a week ago.
DRIVING Gas averaged $9.23 for a US gallon.. No troubles finding gas stations and we always used credit cards. Biggest problem was not making our schedules because we lost a lot of time going through cities and villages. You will need an International license. Roads were acceptable. They were not the roads we see in the states but we didn’t see one pothole in our travels. There is a lot of road construction in Poland so factor that in your travels. Some drivers are suicidal in Poland so you have to drive defensively otherwise you will be in trouble. If someone is approaching you from an opposite direction move over otherwise you will have a collision. If someone approaches you from the rear driving faster then you are move over and let him get by. If you do this you should be OK. Don’t fight it or you will loose. TIP-Use 45-50 miles an hour when planning your trip. Much faster if you’re using major highways such as the new A2 which I believe has no speed limit. Unfortunetly we had to skip Gdansk because of the delays. TIP-If you are going to rent a car and you are over 70 you will have to go with National Rental because other rental agencies will most likely turn you down as they did with me. TIP-Rental cars are usually manual shift and don’t

Try most. I think they all long to be Grand Prix drivers. My cousin had my heart in my mouth every trip. Not from speeding ....but passing cars. I am lucky I live to tell the story.
Bought gas last Friday and it was 3.99/gal. Then met my friends for lunch and they tell me its still 3.91/gal down the road.

I am online on SKype with a Slovak cousin and she tells me they pay 41 Crowns per liter, that converts to $7.91 per gallon.
