Evidently Iran has instituted gas rationing for her civilians. They are limited to 26.4 gallons per MONTH, and some small riots have broken out from demonstrations. Questions:
1: Why ration? Have they reached their refining capacity? Are they saving for military manuevers?
2: Does this hurt Ahmadinejad in the public and political eye?
3: Could YOU make it on 26.4 gallons per month? What if you were able to buy gas at $0.42/gallon like they do there? (Their government subsidizes....)

Wow...why on Earth would they do that I wonder? Don't they have like an unlimited supply over there? Such a large country, smack dab in the middle of the Mid East...There's no way I'd make it on that much gas a month. I fill up now, about once a week, it's a 12 gallon tank. .42 a gallon huh? Sickening, we're paying almost 3.00 a gallon, and I know European countries pay about that for a litre...
