Chroniques italiennes #5, "Servito" versus "Fai da Te"

In Italy you have to ways of fill your tank: the lazy way (or generous one if you consider you are sustaining the economy by keeping more jobs in petrol stations) or the healthy way (or not because you have to get out of your car and breathe all the pollution around).

The basic choice is to be served or not? And I always wondered what was the price difference or if you had to tip the employee filling your tank. Now I have the answer.... 0,039 EUR/L. 1,755 EUR for a 45L tank. The choice is yours!

- Served -
- Do it yourself -
