Fuel Shortage Hits Nepal Ambulance Services
Fuel crisis has gripped the western region to such an extent that even the ambulance service is on hold after the Western Regional Petroleum Dealers' Association shut shop since last evening.

The association was forced to stop selling petroleum products after angry consumers coming to petrol pumps in town began attacking the petrol pump staffers when they were told that there was no petrol.

The number of vehicles plying on the roads has dropped drastically.

4. Its getting really bad.
I don't think much of the world economy can keep its head above water after oil starts approaching 200.

If we cant get it back to under 100 we are in serious trouble. And seeing as the high prices has more to do with demand and supply rather than some conspiricy. There is reason to believe we got atleast a few years of tough times ahead.
