We just got back from a week in Nice and Paris.
I saw mothers in business suits/skirts transporting young children on the seat behind them on scooters. No doubt because of the price of gas, around 11 dollars per gallon. That did not look safe to me, but they probably have no choice.
I never saw a pickup truck.
I did see some class C's, but not very many.
A bottle of Coca-Cola in a restaurant is a little over 4 dollars US.
Some one in France made the news because he discovered that it was cheaper to go to a store like Costco and buy some really cheap cooking oil and pour it into the diesel tank. It was cheaper than diesel fuel. It comes in one liter bottles.
As painful as it is today, it can get worse.
