The Middle East is a region where vehicle is king and fuel is low-cost, typically leaving little reward to discover more environmentally-friendly methods of moving.
But this year, as demonstrations throughout the Middle East have risen the cost of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has actually entered sharp focus.
