Subscribed, as I'm going to Germany in a few weeks.

I listen to HR Info (Hessen radio station) in German every day to keep the language chops up. There is a lot of discussion in Germany now about a gas rebate, but I'm sure it would only apply to German citizens. You probably know you have to pay to use the restroom everywhere in Europe. In most German gas stations it's .50€. You'll then get a coupon for €.30 which you can use in the store/cafeteria and they tend to be pretty good.

But I'm not aware of anything more than that. Their version of Costco/Sam's is called Metro and I can't recall seeing gas pumps at Metro other than in Belgium.

Bottom line is grab your ankles.
