The Middle East is an area where automobile is king and fuel is low-cost, frequently leaving little incentive to discover more environmentally-friendly ways of moving around.
But this year, as protests across the Middle East have actually risen the rate of oil, the concern of finding alternative sources of fuel has come into sharp focus.
