Does AVIS practice price discrimination?

I booked a rental at Frankfurt Intl. for a Group C car on avisworld.com. It asked for country of residence. I selected USA and was given a quote of 768 Euro for a 29 day rental. That included a D002807 AWD. When I changed the country of residency to Germany the price dropped to 525 Euro. I left it at that and printed out the booking confirmation. So why the price difference? The car is actually for my wife who has a German Passport, so I think we can work the residency issue. But again why does Avis discriminate by country of origin?
