same as michèle here in sardinia - touching 1.50 euros a litre, which is 2.32 dollars a litre. in gallons, that's around 9 dollars.

the protests are taking place here too. it's getting to the stage where our fishermen stay at home because they spend more in fuel on a trip than they catch and sell in the market. crazy times.

by the way, wasn't diesel supposed to be much cheaper than petrol? when did those prices level out? - my god!
