Grrr Fuel price up by 32% in UAE

At midnight tonight UAE residents will be paying 32% more for petrol and diesel.

From 7 Days newspaper:
The government has finally agreed to allow petrol stations to hike the price of petrol after months of campaigning from retailers, who say they are forced to sell at a loss.
It then goes on to say how good we still have it because other countries pay (UK is mentioned) a lot more for thier fuel. Well excuse me for noticing, but in most other countries people don't have an oil puddle under their back yard!

All those thinking about a move this way, get out those calculators and run your figures again! The cost of living is rocketing around here and salaries are simply not keeping up.
