kandcorp 0 Posted February 8, 2006 During the construction phase... Dubai , United Arab Emirates: All finished. Notice the palm trees outside.......... Remember, this is in the middle of the desert.... The very HOT desert where temperatures get up to 120 degrees..... Unbelievable! But true..... The INSIDE view: Why is gasoline $2.39 + a gallon for regular unleaded?????? Supply and demand??? That must be it.... we want them to supply us with the oil and they demand that we pay the price!
