Gas hike!

There was recently a 50 percent gas hike in Saudi Arabia. Although it’s hard to see, the price is now 20 cents a liter, or 80 cents a gallon. It now costs us about US $15.00 to fill up the tank, whereas it used to be about $9.00. FWIW, it used to be about $100 for the same car in Hungary. How ironic that gas prices are going up here but going down everywhere. Still, not a bad deal!
