Even when gas demand sunk due to lock downs in April 2020 and prices bottomed out at beginning of COVID, gasoline bottomed at 1.22 USD per Liter. Now it is 1.99 USD per liter. That's only a 62% increase and also not a true indicator of inflation as 1.22 was not even the true sustained price.
And prior to covid, gasoline was 1.6 USD per Liter, making true gasoline inflation only 24%.
Neither of which are anywhere near the 100% increase girls are asking.

I am using the Fram 10,000 miles filter and do about three oil changes before changing the filter to save money.

My old lady engine is still healthy at 625000 kms and pushing every week end in Germany. What I call quality. When engine did warm up, then best for it is to push, which clean it. I wish I will find my S5 with guaranty on engine, gearbox and transmission when it will have to go for about 100 km / h faster it ever was, and I want only the Richard Wagner sound, not Akrapovic race sound. Not sure I will find as I wished for my Summer tour finishing in Ventoux, then old lady will go until I find the good one, beautiful and healthy I can prepare for flexifuel and more powerful to improve from 285 km / h just easily switching off speed limit in electronics to 300 , needing much more power when for this speed I won t find any car to follow stuck in its back to be faster, like I can sometimes faster than 220 with old lady. Interesting work I look forward. I chose this engine because except oil and filter to change, with chain for valves, nothing more, and mechanic quattro, not electronics correcting to kill You. And of course, manual gearbox more able for increased power, not automatic like RS.
The Euro has hit dollar parity for the first time in 20 years. Enjoy guys.

Will be in FRA on Tuesday, it is forecast to be 38 C / 100 F in the afternoon. I looked through the threads and there appears to be some inconsistent information. Between OASE, Sharks, and Mainhatten, which of these clubs have air-conditioning in the zimmer and in the main area? I remember Shark's being really hot in the summer, but it sounds like some of the rooms now have AC? What about Oase?
Thanks!
I don't really want to pay the Hessen rates (100/30). If I can go to only one FKK in NRW area where should it be? Samya, Aca Gold, Babylon?
Last visit to FKK was pre-covid to Artemis. Looking to find that experience again in NRW, but I worry it doesn't exist at the 50 euro for 30 min rate in NRW.
Are Frankfurt options so much better than it is worth the higher rates?

Personally, I don't think Frankfurt rates are worth it. Austria is probably better for medium-high prices at the moment. Swiss is ok but not as good as before covid. But I rather pay Swiss prices in Switzerland.

Prettier looks at Gold from Thursday to Sunday after 3 pm, and BBBJ is quite standard for 40 or 50/30. Samya is not on top for looks, but Rosa there is queen for BBBJ.

- I assume from your post that price is somewhat important to you?
- Would you like to visit the club during day, evening or both?
- Would you like to go somewhere relaxing or somewhere with a party atmosphere?
- Are you OK with traveling for a couple of hours to get to and from the club?
- Are you going to be driving or use public transportation?
- Near which city are you going to be staying?
- What kind of girls do you like. Are you ok with a few extra pounds?
- Is the number of girls in the club important to you?
- Which services do you like. Is BBBJ important to you? Is GFE important to you? Other services?
- Which facilities are important to you? Wellness, bar / nightclub, relax lounge, garden, pool, kino, restaurant and food?
- How important is cleanliness to you? (I'm thinking about the club, not the girls).
- Are you comfortable with girls using aggressive or pushy sales techniques, both in and out of the room?
Clubs in NRW generally charge between 40 and 60 euro per half hour. However, while BBBJ is included in some clubs, BBBJ is an extra in other clubs. BBBJ can be ridiculously high priced at 50 euro, bringing the price for 30 minutes with BBBJ up to 100 euro.
It is also worth noting that with 30-minute rooms, most girls will end the session once you come, so you are not getting the 30 minutes you paid for. They will also try to hurry the session by going fast and / or using hand.
[QUOTE=TraLaLax;2722020]Which club is right for you depends on your preferences.[/QUOTE]Thanks everyone for your responses so far. I can certainly afford the higher price, but it seems like that added cost in Frankfurt isn't getting me anything. I'm flying in and out of FRA, but I'm staying in Cologne. Yes, I could spend my day in a Frankfurt FKK if it's worth it.
To answer your other questions.
Price not that important. I'm also willing to travel up to 1.5 hours using a mix of public transportation and taxi.
I plan to arrive in the afternoon and spend 3-4 hours. If it's good, I hopefully will be allowed to return in the evening after sampling local cuisine at a nice restaurant. I can only go one day, but I can choose that day to be Wednesday (my preference), Fri, or Sunday.
I'm going solo. Party atmosphere is preferred if possible, but not sure that's feasible when entering alone unless the girls help welcome me into the party. Otherwise, relaxing / laid back is just fine. I can enjoy either, but I assume relaxing might be the safer option since a good party depends on the people I won't have any control over.
I'm staying in the heart of Cologne.
A few extra (just a few) is fine especially if the girl has a pretty face and excellent service and can form that connection. But, I generally prefer petite.
Certainly prefer more girls than fewer, but I just want a handful of good options at the end of the day.
GFE with kissing preferred. Don't need BBBJ. Do not want bareback service (don't want AO).
Don't care about food. For relaxing, would prefer a pool (or at least a hot tub / steam room). Party atmosphere I think could happen anywhere, not just a nightclub type place.
Cleanliness is next to godliness. Yes, a clean facility would be welcome.
I can handle pushy girls. I can approach quiet ones too.
I might choose longer 1 hour service if I find someone I like and connect with or I find it is necessary for GFE.
[QUOTE=Sirioja;2721999]Most of Hessen girls are not pretty enough for new 2022 rates. Prettier looks at Gold from Thursday to Sunday after 3 pm[/QUOTE]Is Aca Gold considered superior (girl and facility) to Sauna club Prime (Aca Velbert)?
Given your preferences, I think your best alternatives are Samya (Cologne), Babylon (Eldsorf) and Venus saunaclub (Hamminkeln).
Samya is easy to get to. Train from Dusseldorf HBF to Cologne HBF, then tram (#16) or taxi to the club. Party atmosphere in the evening. Most girls arrive mid to late afternoon. Steam room and sauna are the only wellness facilities. I was there a Saturday a few weeks ago, and there must have been around 50 girls there in total. Good quality lineup. ([URL]https://www.samya.de[/URL]).
Venus is very easy to get to. Take train (RE19) from Dusseldorf HBF to Hamminkeln, then walk 150 meters. A small club. Fairly high quality lineup with 10-15 girls when I visited on a Wednesday a few weeks ago. Relaxed atmosphere. Nice garden and wellness facilities, including hot tub. One potential issue with this club, is that if many girls go to the room at once, then there might be as few as 2-3 girls available, so you might have to wait a bit before a girl you like to becomes available. ([URL]https://www.saunaclub-venus.de/[/URL]).
Babylon is a bit harder to get to. Take the train from Dusseldorf HBF to Horrem, change to bus (975) or Train (RB38) to Bergheim train station, then take a taxi. Taxies are lined up near the station platform. A medium sized club with a lineup of 20-25 girls on Wednesdays. Relaxed atmosphere. The best wellness facilities of any club in NRW, with garden, pool, hot tub, steam bath and sauna. Nice relax lounge and bar. Squeaky clean. The club is known as a GFE-oriented place. I haven't been there for a couple of months, so I'm not to sure about the quality of the lineup now. However, Dolli, Leah, Roberta and Daria are all on the attendance list now, they all give excellent GFE-service, and are girls can "form that connection". ([URL]https://www.saunaclub-babylon.com[/URL] and [URL]https://www.saunaclubs.org/gpl/tabelle1[/URL]).
P.S. : If you choose to go to Babylon, and an app or website suggest a route that requires you to change trains in Bedburg, ignore that suggestion. It's likely to get you stranded an extra hour on a train platform in the middle of nowhere.
