Happy to see U.S. fuel prices dropping. That said, Iraq enjoyed a long run of five cents/gallon fuel thanks to United States subsidies.

Iraq Gas Costs 5¢ Gallon Thanks To US Taxpayers

Current prices for fuel worldwide, notice the Iraqis are currently at 3.31/gallon U.S. So, perhaps they are getting to make up for the previous cheap gas. Who knows.......

2010: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/20/world/middleeast/20iran.html

Security forces with riot shields took positions at gas stations in Tehran, bracing for a possible repeat of the unrest that followed the introduction of gasoline rationing in 2007, but there were no reports of violence.

2014: Iran to increase gasoline prices, testing patience of public awaiting economic recovery - The Washington Post

The new prices, announced by authorities in Tehran and going into effect at midnight, will be 10,000 rials per liter, with a ration of 60 liters at 7,000 rials. Costs will remain low by global standards, but for citizens here, the skyrocketing price at the pump in relation to the value of their national currency, the rial, is shocking.

Currently in Yuma, AZ, and fuel is $2.29 down the street from my hotel.

Going to be in Phoenix tomorrow, and from what I gather here at my hotel, fuel is $1.99 a gallon.

RUG/87 is about 2.43 round these parts in Joisey. +.20 for plus; + .30 for premium.
The M103 drinks premium. The ATS prefers plus. Decisions, Decisions.
Question: do these GM 2.0 4cyl turbos run ok on 87 over the long haul? Or for the life of the lease?

I hear everything runs AWESOME on the cheapest possible fuel and oil for the duration of a lease!
