Petrol Cost 2.61 zł in 1999 — Polish Drivers Still Took to the Streets

Archival footage from 1999 shows petrol in Poland cost just 2.61 zł per litre, yet drivers still protested against high fuel prices at the time. When adjusted for wages of the era, the real burden of fuel costs was comparable to — or even heavier than — today's prices, which now exceed 8 zł per litre.
