Cars and fuel

Cars in Europe are generally small and fuel efficient. We've been driving an Alpha Romeo Guiltta. It's a diesel. Gets 60mpg. Yes that's mpg. We filled it up ages ago, drove a full day and still have half tank.  Diesel is cheaper here too!  (It's still crazy expensive, but cheaper than regular gas).  
We're on the auto bahn right now - no speed limit. I'm freaking out, people are passing us in their Benzes, beemers, audis, alphas. AND fords!   I'm happy in the 'slow' lane going 140kph.  Oh now we're going 150. Eeek. 

With Uncle Chuck we are a bit squished. Lots of love in back seat. 


Road signs - 
Our favorite is ausfart (two boys 11 and 13 -  you figure it out). Ausfart means exit.  Duh.....
