New Petrol Machines
Mishary from SOMEcontrast took pictures of new petrol machines now installed at the Oula gas stations. They look pretty cool but not to sure if the petrol machine actually accepts cards like in the US or we still need to drive up to the window and pay. Now where are the gas station mini markets I heard we would get after the privatization? [Link]

apparently they all requested permission from govt for mini-marts, however they were denied, something to do with the co-op society.
Mark, i used my AMEX there and its accepted
Yeah but is it like in the states where you put your credit card in the machine and fill up?
I hope they introduce the keychain thingy that you touch to the machine and your card is charged automatically. I used to use it on Mobil stations in the US.
It was really neat!
HEY MARK lets do a shawerma chain in all the gas stations
Do they have Ultra or is it just for Super and Premium?
Mark, i dont think they have it.
They opened ‘i2′ in one of the stations.
hope the hoses have some kind of sensors to prevent petrol spills all over the place.
I have trouble finding Ultra (i.e. Green) stations in Kuwait – which is strange.
And what’s with the lack of mini marts? Are you guys serious about the govt turning them down? In this day and age when rocketing high prices from coops are hurting people, isnt more competition via mini marts, supermarkets etc a good thing??
The idea of coops (dominated by corrupt boards) is so socialistic in this day and age, hence all the trouble we are having with lack of goods or high prices.
There should be 24/7 mini marts in every gas station in Kuwait.
The rest of the free world has something called free trade and have laws against monopolies etc, here were not even allowed to use the internet to call abroad because the government’s ministry wants to be the only one to profit… welcome to the third world!!
You should all SHUT UP. You’re paying KD0.065/liter for gas. So all of you SHUT UP.
i noticed those but the conns is that when u park at the edge of the yellow line u cant c the price clearly tho i almost always know the price b4 filling other then that it looks nice .
p.s.: noticed a number near the names like premium91 any idea whts that ?
Dubaaaaaaaaaaaai (L)
3ali: i believe thats the amount of Octane in types of petroleum.

Thats exactly what this country needs !!
