Currently in Zimbabwe. It's not an issue of affordability. The country allocates foreign currency to bring in fuel, there is a shortage of foreign currency and the government is struggling to bring in enough fuel to meet demand levels.

Exactly the same as when I lived there. We had the money, but we would queue round the block (even leaving cars unattended) waiting for the fuel to arrive.
