What explains long lines at gas stations

A year ago, the Ministry of Trade had estimated transport fees of around 75,000 Br a truck to transport fuel from ports in Djibouti to the capital. A single truck has a carrying capacity of 45,000lt of fuel.

A new Italian-made IVECO fuel truck goes for 12 million Br, up from around five million Birr almost five years ago. With growing expenses and high prices on parts, the lobby group estimates 115,000 Br to keep a fuel truck running a trip.
