I just wonder what will happen when people cannot afford to go to work? We always think of the doctors and nurses, teachers etc as essential workers. But what about the lower paid shop assistants?

Hello, Oh yes, it's a worldwide phenomenon. In France, the cheapest I can find is 132 €, that is about : 150US$ in order to fill my 80L Peugeot 406 tank. Gas is cheap in north america !! and it can be as expensive as 168US$ !! Michel.

In Germany it is also Euro 1,50 - 1,60 pro litre. 80 % of it is Tax though. How much Tax is on the gas in the USA? My next motor vehicle will be a Toyota Prius http://www.toyota.com/prius/, a hybrd. They sell here for Euro 27.000 (lists for $21,728 in the USA - is it a lot for a vehicle there?). Consumption is around 5 l/100 km (48 miles/gal or 20 km/l ideal = 35 m/g or 15 km/l real life city driving). :-) Al

Erm, did you convert to $ amounts and leave it as €? I was in north Germany last week and back home again this week, the diesel prices are €1,139 and the Unleaded around €1,239 at both end of the country, if you are paying €1,50-€1,60 a litre I think you are going to the wrong garages ;-)
Well, I live in the Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and filled up in the week with Diesel in my BMW for Euro 1,21 (now 1.18). Super Plus octane today goes for Euro 1,42 - 1,49 in our small city Mainz near Frankfurt, Euro 1,50 a few days ago. Hamburg is always cheaper because they are an import port, I don't know why München is also cheaper. (If you understand German, go to http://www.clever-tanken.de - my favourite gas station at a 'Wall-Mart' like store is always 1-2 cents cheaper than the ones they give in the list). The prices went up drastically last weekend, due to the Iran crisis and fears of warmongering ... :-( Al

Personally I've got rid of my car and use my tractor only when I need heavy moving.
