Just last week, I could fill up my pickup with $15 (regular)
Yesterday, $15 gave me 3/4 of a tank.

two years ago, I could fill it with $10.

Does anyone else take notice of these things?

1.  $60 - 70 each time
Of course we have taxes on a level unknown in the US and 95 octane gas minimum. But it hurt after the Euro-introduction. It took the price only a few months to reach the last DeutschMark amount in Euro; doubling the real price.

4. But you have
If the price is raised without a reason (like a new well-founded tax, a thing not responsible for the latest development here) then the average customer is being ripped off.
And we have far shorter distances, excellent public transportation and efficient cars.

5. oh yeah.
i moved up from a 30mpg economy car with a 12 gal. gas tank 6 months ago, to a 20 mpg small p/u truck with a 20 gal. tank just in time to see gas prices go up 40 cents per gal. kinda negated the fact my payments went down 50 bucks a month. :(
