What a stupid morning. Of course it’s Wednesday but imagine waking up a bit late (due to over-snoozing the alarm clock) and then realizing that you have to visit three stations to fill up. The first two stations had a big yellow sign on every diesel pump that says “Kuota Diesel habis” or basically, they’ve run out of diesel fuel and their quota’s exhausted. Silly subsidy and road tax scheme is the big cause. I say drop the subsidies and the road tax to gasoline levels and this won’t happen.
