>What are the price in Italy and the best place to get a good fuel ?
Actually we're under "carbon tax" so unleaded fuel (95 oct.) is from
1915 ITL (about 1 Euro)
and leaded (98 oct.) is about 2000 ITL or more (about 1,033 Euros)
Please note :
1) on motorway (autostrada) fuel is more expensive
2) price depends from fuel company (Esso, Q8, IP, Shell, Fina, and so
on...)
3) usually the "petrol man" refill your tank, but you can save few money
if you do it by yourself
>What are the name of the good service station ?
see above (all are similar)
>and the name you have to avoid ?
see above too... (all is expensive)
>Is the motorway in north Italy are in good condition ?
Mmm, ...quite good, pay attention to:
- fast cars
- slow lorries and bus
- "man at work"
- with bike you CAN'T pay with electronic way (Telepass, Viacard,
Fastpay and so on..) ONLY with cash...
> or sometimes can you get parallel road ?
you can buy one good map and follow the beautiful "alternative" roads
especially after Milano area
>What are the "blue points" on Motorway in Italia ?
ehm... the Blue points (they're marked)
I hope it can help you...
