I think there must be something wrong with your $160.00 number to fill up with a 1/4 tank left in your car.

Tank capacity is 16.6 US Galons that equals 62.84 Litre so let us assume you filled 3/4 of the remaining tank that be around 47.5 Litre if you paid $160.00 for that fill up then they charged you $3.40 / Litre. $3.40 US = € 2.60 Euro ... a bit high for gas wherever you tanked they screwed you when the average gas price in Europe is € 1.397 to € 1.459 Euro.

Where did you tank and are you sure your tank was not empty?
