I've heard it will keep increasing until it hits 10 AED per litre!!
For some reason its costy to own a 4x4聽 vehicle taking into consideration聽 the car loan if any, crossing salike gates four times a day聽 like me , monthly maintenance..etc!!

Then trade your 10mpg gas guzzler in for a Prius, if you're so concerned. Durh.

If your contract is a genuine expat contract, you should have your fuel or transportation costs reimbursed by your company! So even if the price hikes it shouldn't be a problem... lol
