it costs nothing to fill your car up there but people cant afford their groceries, google what a big mac costs there..

I can assure you if another source runs out they will lift these sanctions

its always about the $$$

whilst the rich cities are buying EVs the poor ones are still filled with 2 strokes and old busses.
Same can be said for everything, its just the way of the world but good we are still progressing for the better.

Still love my ICE, but unfortunately people like us will also become the exception as cars literally become just transport, the passion will be hard to maintain in 30-50 years.
