Nice vid Karim, and wow that IS cheap fuel. I guess Panamera and Cayenne twin turbos would be common there. How much are the new P cars? Kuwait maybe be a migration option afterall .

But I refuse to be held responsible for the possible massive demographic shifts as a result!

Gasoline 91 Octane (RON) (89 US Equivalent) = USD 0.79 per US Gallon
Gasoline 95 Octane (RON) (91 US Equivalent) = USD 0.86 per US Gallon
Gasoline 98 Octane (RON) (93 US Equivalent) = USD 1.18 per US Gallon
Gasoline Race Gas = USD 5.26 per US Gallon
Diesel = USD 0.72 per US Gallon
Bro, i'm pretty sure you know better than i do !! but i heard that the gasoline named ULTRA (green gas pump) in kuwait is equivlant to 92 US .. while Eauro (pink gas pump) is 95 US, Look into this and check if it's true .. cuz i have a tuner friend of mine who has sent samples to the US swears by this ..

Nice Video by the way .. Thumbs up +1 as always

Thanks Paul.
Panamera TT runs around the USD 175,000 to USD 200,000 depending on specs.
911TT runs USD 142,500 to USD 180,000 for a fully specced Cab.
Kuwait would welcome you with open arms. Me casa su casa.

Hey bro.
Ultra green pump is getting anywhere between 92 to 93 US. Depending on the batch, etc... So for all intents and purposes, you can think of it as 93 US.
The pink pump is marketed as 100+. I've never really had cause to analyze it up to this point, so I will take your friend's word for it. I will make it a point to send it for lab analysis in the near future and will let you know.

One point to note, though, all our petrochemical derivatives have an above normal sulphur content. That is part of the reason why our cars have lower milage between maintenance intervals than in Europe. The other part of the reason is ambient temperatures.

Cheers mate.

As always, thanks for sharing. You personally probably do more for the tourist industry than your country's tourist board does.

You make me want to visit your country...and not just because of the cars. You, and several others here, represent your country well.

Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated.

If you were to decide to visit, you would most certainly be welcome in my humble abode. We may even try to organize a Porsche centric event or two to coincide with your visit.

Kuwait certainly is a nice place to be.
Although, it must be said, I am reporting on Kuwait from a resident/guest's point of view. I do live and work here but I personally am not Kuwaiti.

Thank you for your generous offer.

The country and people should adopt you as a citizen...and I guess I shouldn't presume that they haven't already.

My car still isn't here and I'm currently driving a Chevy Caprice LTZ rental!
I can bring my PBox and my new Hoyt HiDef camera!
PM me with the details
