European Gas Prices -- YIKES!

You thought $3.00 was a lot; the French are now paying about $6.60 a gallon. Let's hope all of this instability doesn't lead to government price fixing, whether it be over there or, yes, even over here. That would be a bullet to the brain, right? Remember the Nixon gas price fiasco?
