OPEC have a lot to do with it... The UAE is a member state!
Keep it cheap at home, expensive on the exports. It's only good business.

Good point. I used to live in the Middle East (Kuwait) and the food cost was horrendous. Was many years ago but back then an Iceberg Lettuce equated to Aust$80, apples Aust$10 each etc. Surprisingly meat was cheap if you bought it from the local outlets rather than the Western Supermarket. When we went there we thought we would save heaps but the cost of living was appalling particularly with a family to feed.

Fuel will always be cheap there as they look after their own where they can and if something is made there they don't load it with taxes. Easier I suppose in an economy that has rich reserves and they don't spend millions of welfare. If you are on the street there, you are on the street. Unemployed? Tough. Wages - they pay what ever they want.

Someone should invent a process to amalgamate petrol into a non-flammable substance. Then a reverse process to turn it back into petrol. Screw opec and govco.

Can be done, to cover the cost u will then need to sell the fuel for $2.50/l...lol

Move to Venezuela, cheapest in the world, 0.17c/l which is actually LESS than production cost, and its a Miss.World factory , and they drink ice-cold beer.......

A quick google search (just to confirm what I`d heard yrs ago) Dubai only has 20 yrs oil left hence there spending up big on tourism infrastructure etc atm, when the oils gone,,, either there mates in the UAE prop em up or it`s a desert again ? .
yes fuel prices are cheap there atm but watch the other countrys drop em in it when it runs out haha.

I believe we have not even reached peak-oil yet, and that it will be well over 100 years before crude runs out.

They [OPEC] just keep talking up this nonsense up so they can keep jacking the price up, they learnt this scam from the west

That Australia does not have 75% of all its car here forced to run on local produced LPG and local produced alchol [like Brazil] is a crime, we can do both, and buy/need very little crude
