Credit cards are hardly used especially in garages or supermarkets, so you need to take sufficient cash with you.

My experience of quite extensive touring in Germany is a bit different on that score although I would agree its not as straightforward as the UK or France. I have found that most of the big brand fuel stations, Shell, BP, Esso tend to accept credit cards but local ones less likely to. If you find a REWE supermarket, one the the better and more widespread brands in Germany they will accept credit cards, in fact they caused quite a stir in Germany a few years ago when they announced they would. Ther are a few more that do accept cards but they tend to be in the old East.
