i got this feeling this ban will be not temporary... oil prices will keep going up.. unless a reliable source of energy is available and cheap.
This ban (within 50km radius) is definitely temporary until they come up with the new subsidy for their citizens & a mechanism to charge foreigners different rate. For us foreigners, from Monday 9 June till the time they implement the mechanism, we'll not be able to pump within 50km. Once they get the mechanism in place (petrol sold at market price), we'll be able to pump as usual.
So if oil prices increase, the price for foreigners will also follow suit....
