The major concern in Europe relates to soaring energy costs. On Wednesday March 2, a barrel of oil reached a price of nearly 110 dollars. How are itinerant traders and taxi drivers coping with this soaring price?
The road is part of his job. Sylvie is a traveling baker: six days a week, it circulates in the Alsatian countryside to meet those who can no longer travel. Since January, to compensate for delivery costs, each item has been sold for five cents more Dear than at the bakery. But with ten euros more per tank of gas, this is no longer enough according to his boss. Its only solution will be to pass this increase on to its customers once again.
Yann is also affected by the rise in fuel prices. This taxi driver travels up to 600 km a day. A working day that systematically begins at the gas station with, each time, the surprise of the price.
