It's not much if looked at in isolation - but it just adds to the list of ever increasing prices doesn't it?

Chillis (and many other restaurants) have increased prices as much as 25%

Also, people who live in Shj, Ajman and elsewhere to save on rent will now have to shell out more on travelling.

This is the first increase (or second?) this year, I hear there will be many more to come

Best start badgering HR depts for a rise in transport allowance now.

Try spending a few weeks in the UK...It is still cheaper over there..even if there is a price hike........but the gap seems to be closing.

No more hardship posting.

it is still got to be the cheapest in the world, hopefully it will make people a bit more thoughtful about using the car, maybe cheaper petrol for car poolers as a car pool lane would be laughable here!

Anyway doesn't affect me, company pays for petrol. Might do a poll on that one.
