Colleen, i connected the statement that "not long ago i was young" with the wrong statement "now it is more than 1 Mark 50" to express that i am not at all young anymore. Gasoline is 1.5€ (About 3 mark). The euro replaced the mark 13 years ago and it is 30 years ago when the gasoline was below one Mark. 30 years ago i was young ;-)

Silvana, thanks! It is also an in joke. Those shown prices are in euro. 1€ has the value of nearly 2 of the old german mark.
