After peaking in July, gas prices at stations operated by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service in Europe were to drop by a nickel a gallon beginning Friday, the second consecutive monthly decrease.
Prices vary at other countries in Europe where U.S. forces are stationed.
The Navy Exchange maintains the pumps at naval facilities in Europe, such as Italy and Spain. A NEX spokesman was unable to provide a breakdown of gas prices for February through September. Fritz recently was tanking up his 1992 Toyota Corolla, which pulls up to a pump about twice a week. The higher prices coincided with increases in the United States and other industrialized nations. I'm used to having prices in the low dollar figure.
