"At least 12 petrol stations have been torched in the Iranian capital, Tehran, after the government announced fuel rationing for private vehicles." "Iranians were given only two hours' notice of the move that limits private drivers to 100 litres of fuel a month." "Despite its huge energy reserves, Iran lacks refining capacity and it imports about 40% of its petrol." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6243644.stm

Well that's just weird. I doubt there are any Iranian Prius drivers participating in those riots though because with a conservative estimate, they could still drive about 40 miles/day, every day of the month in a Prius on 100 litres.
