Life in Germany - Diesel $ 7.52 per gallon

I've just written about it last week, so I won't belabor the point. The raising oil price, the declining dollar just simply makes for some interesting prices for life in Germany.

• Diesel (which we have) costs today $7.52 per gallon
• A gallon of regular gasoline costs $8.18.
• A gallon of milk is $4.06 (generic name brand); most common name brand - $5.29
• A pound of Elstar apples costs $6.44 (but who buys them by the pound?)
• We paid $4.43 for a package of sliced ham (10.15 oz) at the discount retailer Lidl (like Aldi's)

And for us missionaries who get paid in US dollars, we can only say ouch!
