What's changed ?

Well, the Europeans were charged up front for most of that. What's the tax on gas over there? Something like 200%? As for food I have never experienced a sticker shock like in the Netherlands when I stepped into a butcher store for the first time after moving there. A pound of nice beef cost more than five times of what it cost in the US back then. I'd be surprised if that changed much.
For the record: We pay $3.19 for gasoline right now, today, right here in our little village. That includes all taxes and comes to about $0.90/Liter. At Costco (a club warehouse) I could get it for about 6% less, just came back from there but didn't need gas. So, dudes, what does it cost in Europe?
