>Yes, it was a problem. Basically caused by politics and very dumb.

In U.S. Never heard that, well I don't know too much from the U.S.

>No.. Back in 1973 we were worried when gasoline proces went up to US$0.50 per gallon. That's fifty cents per gallon. I seem to recall that at that time Europeans were paying around US$0.80 per litre! Typically around 2-3 times as much as we pay here.

Well in spain now we pay almos 1$ per litre. :(
