Why are europoors such difficult people?

>>28673600 (OP)
Can you not just pay per day, then fill the car back up before you return it?

>>28673600 (OP)
Just don't be poor? 7 bucks a gallon should be absolutely nothing for americans.

>>28673600 (OP)
>waaaah i can't possibly just pay it and charge it back to the company

Why are ameriqueers so incompetent

>1,72 €/L is a lot
it's actually a nice price. anyway, your employer pays all travel costs for you. right?

>>28673623
youd pay that in kangaroobucks in australia, which is like .95 euro

>>28673604
No, I’d rather use a car than wait for public transport.
>>28673607
difference between that and recognized you’re being ripped off.
>>28673622
I don’t want to install apps, retard.
>>28673623
yes, it’s all covered with the per diem, but I prefer to pocket as much of it as I can.

>>28673631
>recognized

>>28673631
I usually bring back all the bills that are travel related(except good and drinks) and ask for money back on top of the per diem. Isn't that how it works?

>>28673636
my company calculates everything and then gives it to me via payroll, meaning I only get it as compensation at the end of the month.
what I’m confounded by are the food prices, why are shawarmas and pizzas $30 each?

u r stoopid

>>28673631
You don't have to install apps, mega retard.

>>28673680
no u
>>28673695
every non-tesla charger forces you to use an app, omega retard. eurorats have this natural inclination to make things as annoying as possible, because that’s how it was for me in Italy and France.

Dunno about Norway, but hasn't the EU's Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) specifically mandated that all charging stations above 50 kW must accept chip+PIN?
Existing stations have to be upgraded to comply by 2027.

>>28673714
Did you get this from google ai? Anyway, I’ve encountered exactly one charger in Milan that normally used cards without needing a stupid useless app for it, the rest were exactly what I complained about. Since Norway isn’t in the EU, I very much doubt they implemented such measures.

>>28673724
Maybe the other chargers were built before 2024?

>>28673640
Nordic cunts and most EU states have higher restaurant prices due to paying the staff a living wage.

>>28673738
Why should customers be responsible for greedy owners?

>>28673640
Shit, is that even legal? In the EU if the company sends you away from your usual place of work they have to pay you extra per day on top of whatever the fuck travel costs you have.

>>28673707
>italy and france
>all of yurop must be like dis

Then don't use a shitfag EV and buy the damn fuel and charge ot back to the company christ do i need to hold your hand there or something

>>28673631
No, I'm saying that in America car rental services let you rent out the car for a set number of days, and when you return it the amount you pay is solely based on the per-day fee.
Paying based on amount of gas used is a novel concept and seems like a scam

>>28673855
oh, that’s what you meant, that’s just how renting works worldwide. I was just calculating
>>28673824
I already explained why I need to penny-pinch, moron.
and yes, all euros are unironically the same. one might speak funny, one might be a frog eater, one might get incredibly pissy if you don’t dickride to a certain nation, but in the end, they’re all alike in being incompetent buffoons who can’t help but put hurdles on everything.
>>28673818
not sure, but my company has become very frugal over the past few years despite record profits, that’s why I’m pocketing whatever per diem I can get.

>>28673623
>it's actually a nice price
Lol even in the "hellhole" california its $5.50/gal

>>28673600 (OP)
Norway isn't spiritually Europe

>>28673906
And what's the real cost including all taxes and tips?

>>28673906
>50% ethanol

>>28673894
>my company has become very frugal over the past few years despite record profits
Since line must always go up those record profits make it hard for that to happen and that means austerity for everyone but the top.
