Got a question about the new AAFES fuel-ration card? How about 57 questions?

Installation Management Command-Europe has launched a Web site to explain the fuel card, including a section that includes 57 frequently asked questions.

The fuel card, which will operate like a debit card, is scheduled in June and July to replace the fuel coupon system used by Defense Department motorists in Germany.

The Web site — www.imcom-europe.army.mil/sites/news/fuelcard.asp — includes a link for questions and comments as well as a link that locates some 1,200 Esso stations throughout Germany.

Esso is the only supplier participating in the fuel card system. Esso and certain Aral stations honor the paper coupons, which customers use to buy fuel in Germany at the prices they would pay at an on-base service station. German prices are typically twice as high or greater.
