Gas prices

Huge fuss about the rise in gas prices, now it isn't a huge amount and it's still super cheap compared to Europe or even the US but the papers and radio are full of people howling about the increase. The only people I feel for are the taxi drivers who this will really hurt.
Some of the gas stations stuck the price increase on first thing in the morning instead of midnight when it was supposed to go up. This has resulted in forecourt fights and meant the cops were called to several incidents.
Geez guys C'mon its a 1.5 dhs rise to leave your fuel at 1 pound a gallon, that's less than 1/5 of what people in the UK pay, maybe, God forbid, you might even buy a slightly smaller car?

Na thought not.
