Here in Germany US Mil has coupons for gas so we pay US prices. The pump shows Euro. 1.64 Euro per liter is about $6.00 a gallon x 20 gallons = $120 per fill up for the Germans!

The link has a calculator that shows you how many miles you drive per dollar. I know you can figure it yourself, but this is easier. I thought it was interesting.
