Bend Over And Take It…From the Government
Thank you, Jordanian government, for removing subsidies and hiking gas prices across the board. We’ll all be walking a little…stiffer…after next month.
According to The Jordan Times, here’s the new cost of “heat” and “transportation”:
| Item | Current price/Litre | New price |
|---|---|---|
| Super | 605 fils | 702 fils |
| Unleaded | 640 fils | 742 fils |
| Regular | 430 fils | 499 fils |
| Kerosene | 315 fils | 515 fils |
| Diesel | 315 fils | 515 fils |
| Gas | JD4.25/cylinder | JD7.5/cylinder & JD10 as of April 1 |

Diesel was 315/litre?
These #$@$ @#$@! Wow, I feel such an idiot, I think they were charging me 325 already!
Don’t worry Dave, just start practicing your siphoning skills. We’ll hit schools,hospitals,govermental buildings, that is where the Diesel is!
Drinking a cup of Diesel every morning will make it easier! No respiratory problems at all within a week! If you can’t afford it, UHU shall do it (squash it, melt it and drink it, don’t sniff it)

This still acceptable range, rumours says all gas products prices will be linked with the International market so then they will change the price every month.
Which is Ok and acceptable only if we had a good transportation system, cyclist friendly streets or friendly pavements.
