Gas in Saudi Arabia is 35 cents per gallon, so Iraq should be pretty much the same. I have some colleagues telling me stories of filling up Expeditions for $15USD, so it is very very cheap. There is no such thing as a oil shortage...the dollar just wasn't, and still isn't, worth a dime.

all i am saying is that since we are spending so much money over there and they are running up surplus's in their budget at our expense, shouldnt we at least get some cheap gas out of the deal???

as Chris Rock says, "If I invaded a KFC, you can bet that chicken would be cheap at my house"

If I lived there I would floor my car everytime I took off. Matter fact I dont think I would ever run it off cuz I hate it when i have to wait for it to worm up in the mornings. lol
