Gasoline - cost

Americans and Canadians will find gas quite expensive in Italy, so renting a smaller car is good advice. Service stations are open from 7:00AM to 12:30PM and from 3:00PM to 7:30PM. Gas is available 24 hours a day on motorways. Self Serve / Self Pay pumps are available in some places 24 hours a day and require 10,000 and 50,000 lire bill (you would slip the bill in like a vending machine). With a small car, a 10,000 lire bill will give approximately 1/4 tank of gas. It is best to have several of these bills with you when traveling by car.
