This will seem unreal but read through the whole thing. Our gas for the cheapest regular unleaded is now $ 2.55 per gallon....however consider the following, the average person here makes about $125.00 per month and the fuel prices are heavily subsidized by the government.....and prices are controlled by the government.....and last week they just jacked up the price across the board for all fuel types including diesel 28 %. Needless to say there have been demonstrations and violent outbreaks on occasion and yesterday all the mini bus and regular buses went on strike as they can not raise fares until the government sets new fare schedules. Food and most home commodities are expected to raise about 10% over the next six months...no raise in pay in sight for Joe average. For some of us on the high end of wages and such, this is pretty painless. For our staff and employees, its really tough to ever see one's self getting ahead.
