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?


$2.999/Gal for regular around here.
