actually, that's more like 7.50 Euros which is almost $10/gal.. and that was in January in Munich... 1.45 E per liter -- about 7.80 Euros per gallon -- wow! that's even MORE than $10/gal.
In 1974-75 during the first oil embargo, gas shot up from $0.28/gallon to about $.65/gal, nearly half of the minimum wage. Today, minimum wage is $7.40/hour and gas is $3.65/hour, or nearly half of minimum wage.
Still, though it definitely hurts the wallet.
