According to Gulf news and khaleej times, the petrol retailers decided to raise petrol prices by 100%...at first 50% soon and then in MArch by 100%
UAE governemt is triggering riots and severe economic problems. Just a new trick to drive immigrants away and attract western immigrants...
And Oman is UAE's twin
it will copy everything UAE does...
I believe this is a VERY dangerous step of raising prices...They don't know what they are getting themselves into!! UAE's governemt doesn't know anything about politics and the economy.

hahahaahahahahaha

fukcing bull shit ,, damn ,,, i am really pissed off ,,, i was annoyed by the fukcing 32% ,,but i will pass away if it goes up more ,, damn ,, this is relly fraustrating

Oh stop whining about the petrol going up, it's still damn cheaper than the UK and US where it would cost me 300Dhs to fill up my tank and here it still only costs me 60Dhs!

If anything it's a good thing, more people should use public transport and get that flipping train running. There are too many cars on the road in Dubai and to see 1 person per car all the time is nuts, hasn't anyone heard of car sharing?

Try coming to Canada and pay $1.40 per litre.......It costs almost $100 to fill up your gas tank now....ing.

i would love to use public transport...but where is it....i have heard they are coming up with metro...but when, 2008....i dont know wht the authorities are up to....if locals start investing in public transport...i think the ROCE will be more than those rotating city type sh*tty projects

I totally agree. The Public Transport is the crappiest in this city.

If the authorities take care of this, a lot of the problems would be taken care of... including traffic congestions and pollution. There should be more Point-to-Point transportation solution instead of the Municipality buses taking you around the city for a tour.

Heh! Right after the hurricane it blasted up to $1.5/litre.... But our problem is is refinery costs and more importantly TAXES TAXES TAXES on petroleum...

Is it true the inflated petrol prices are because some of the companies (not all) send their oil to refineries in the far east? If I remember correctly Adnoc and Enoc were willing to keep petrol prices down but others could not keep up due to their expensive refinement process

yeah those maggot gulf countries wag their tail if us asks em to increase the output. Recently Qatar donated 100 million dollars to us while didnt pay shit for the iraqi stampede victims. bunch of morons

yes thats true .. they get it from singapore. Its sad, that they dont have refinery capacity to cover such a small country.

Guys you are still safe and have cheaper gas rate than us in USA .
The damn gas is still going up. My husband is paying now 3.27 us per /litre and he had to drive 1 and half hour/2 times aday to his work and back home
