YNet: Gaza replenishes fuel supply, residents pleased - 'Gaza has managed to replenish its fuel supply by using smuggling tunnels from Egypt, and residents of the Strip rejoiced as benzene prices hit a low of just NIS 1.5 (around 40 cents) per liter, after having previously paid up to NIS 7 (around $1.9). Abu Mohammad, a taxi driver from the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiya, said the Egyptian fuel was not as good as its Israeli equivalent, but that "when the price is four times less than the Israeli fuel there is no room for complaint or argument about the quality of the fuel"...'
You think maybe America could get some of these tunnels?
