Saudi Arabia suffering oil inflation
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=298250

Consumer goods in Saudi Arabia are becoming costly due to the high price of oil.

The increase in prices is likely to reach around 20 per cent during the first quarter of next year due to the global demand for oil.

The Saudi Consultative Council has established a 10-member committee to study increasing prices of consumer commodities and the impact of this on the living standards of both Saudis and expatriates.

4. They knew this was coming
"My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a jet-plane. His son will ride a camel."

As Saudi Arabia and other oil nations begin using more and exporting less, it may become a good idea to own a camel here, too.
