Eating out at restaurants can be expensive as well, with meals at mid-range restaurants costing significantly more than in other countries. Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water are also costly, as is the price of gasoline. Internet and mobile phone services are relatively expensive as well. Despite the high cost of living, wages in Olafsvik and the rest of Iceland are also high, which helps to offset these costs. Public transportation is limited and most residents own a car, adding to the cost of living. Healthcare is of high quality and is free for all residents, although there may be small fees for certain services. Education is also free, from primary school through to university. Overall, while the cost of living in Olafsvik is high, the high wages, quality public services, and the high standard of living help to balance it out," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Olafsvik, Iceland.
