Gas Prices go up in Wuxi, China.

Since moving out to my new apartment, I have had to employ the services of an taxi driver to get home in the evenings from work. This driver, Kevin, was recommended to me by a colleague at work. Kevin speaks very good English and so I can have some very good conversations with him on my way home. Tonight, he informed me that gas prices in Wuxi have gone up 1.5 rmb a litre as of midnight yesterday. Wuxi drivers, he tells me, are not very happy about this. I believe the price has risen from 4 to 5.5 rmb a litre or maybe from 6.5 to 8, but either way the rise was significant.
