I recently bought olive oil in France. Organic extra virgin cold press costs 15euros/liter or more. I have seen as much as 20. It depends vary much on what you buy. It is true that some prices are going down (cars is a good example). How many people buy a car every year?

How much olive oil do you consume? How many years of olive oil consumption would it take to reach the equivalent price of a car?

What's more, olive oil is a very poor indicator because it is highly dependent on production, which fluctuates greatly from year to year due to the weather.

In short, the figures are accurate and your impression does not reflect reality.
