Fuel Rationing in Iran Prompts Protests

New York Times:
Iran is rich with crude oil and is the second largest exporter of oil in OPEC. But it has far fewer refineries than it needs to satisfy booming domestic demand, so it must import as much as half of its gasoline from refineries abroad, at a cost of $5 billion a year.


Somehow this story and headline upset me less.
