Egypt: Fuel rationing from July
Hi all. Be warned people travelling through Egypt from July. The govt announced yesterday that subsidised fuel would be rationed from July. All residents would be issued a ration card and only able to access a limited amount of fuel. 95 is no longer subsidised so that's available (but carried by less and less outlets). How that will affect travelers is unclear - but being Egypt it'll be a drama. This might simply translate to a surcharge (baksheesh), but it might be more complicated than that. Of course being Egypt it might not actually happen for another eleventy years. More info as it becomes clearer. cheers Brett
