Crude price is still below 0.45 /l. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Everybody knows that much of gas price is taxes - a good thing - but it's one of those things much better left a bit in the abstract, to keep people ranting in general - they always do anyway - but not in particulars and specifics.
If you price crude in euros per liter, people would actually realize how much of the retail price is taxes. And then, they would start to have ideas...
The gov should never lie but a little bit of obscurity here and there can be good, pragmatic policy :)
Crude price is still below 0.45 /l.
Coca Cola is 0.97 /l. Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.
So it's about the same as oil.
(BTW These prices are all taken from the Asda website, which is a fairly cheap grocer, and based on buying a 2l bottle.) Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.
Italians seem to mostly drink the local water, making it a little less bad for the environment than shipping it all over the world (there are still the plastic bottles, of course). There are exceptions. I once got Pejo at a restaurant in Cattolica at full restaurant prices. They probably figured out that they could get a bigger markup with hardly any of their customers noticing. Since then, I always get suspicious when I see non-local, non-San Pellegrino, water at a restaurant.
