Halliburton delivered gasoline to Iraq from Kuwait at a price of $2.27 per gallon, while it delivered gas from Turkey for $1.18 per gallon.

In a war zone, you're lucky if you get gas, period. I'll wager there are FReepers here that have been on a FTX and ran out of gas, or in a convoy (Track, jeep, deuce and half), and couldn't
find POL. Unfortunately, for hours.

Sheesh, the average gas price of $1.60 is lower than in Kalifornia. It' a war zone for crying out loud!

Reminds me of that memorable scene in the 1970 movie Patton where an American tank column runs out of gas just as it runs head on into a German Panzer column. People who sit in nice, warm, safe newspaper offices, TV studios and Congressional offices don't have to consider---and maybe never have had to consider---what could happen if a convoy does run out of gas.
