Even at $2 a gallon (which you will only find in a few Southern Cities like Dallas TX, and then only at the discount gas stations, the average is still more like $2.30 across the country), that is 7.35 UAE dirhams. So I am still trying to work out where you get the statement that gas prices in the US are now cheaper than the UAE. Thats just not true. Maybe I am missing something, so please enlighten me.
P.S When I got fuel last night it was 6.25 dirhams a gallon. And there are reports in the media here that with the dropping oil price the petrol price will be lowered in the new year.
