AAFES supply of regular unleaded gas to end in ’09

Esso, the lone supplier of fuels to the Army and Air Force Exchange Service in Germany, has announced that it will stop supplying regular unleaded gasoline to the exchange after the New Year, according to AAFES.

Midgrade — also known as super — will become the cheapest gas available to Americans in the country.

For many locales where U.S. troops are based, the decision will be felt almost immediately.

"Esso has announced that on January 1, 2009, they will stop delivering Unleaded Regular Gasoline to AAFES facilities throughout Germany," according to an AAFES news release issued Tuesday.

AAFES stations in Mannheim, Ramstein, Sembach, Baumholder, Kaiserslautern and Landstuhl will continue to receive deliveries until supplies are exhausted, the release stated.

2. Esso is lying

Newer engines run just fine on regular unleaded. Hopefully, AAFES sells the higher grade at the regular unleaded price that corresponds to average US prices.
