Quoted from Google search, although I've heard about the same from tv shows.

Dubai has the largest population and is the second largest emirate by area, after Abu Dhabi. Dubai is distinct from other members of the UAE in that revenues from oil account for only 6% of its gross domestic product. A majority of the emirate's revenues are from the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ)[4] and, increasingly, from tourism and other service businesses.

I would still suggest that Dubai is backed and funded by the same people that 100% of their wealth has come from oil, even if Dubai doesnt have any oil fields of its own

I'm not saying $3 a gallon is way too much but i sometimes have to laugh at the people who complain about paying that for gas and then buy bottled water and pay around 3x that amount for a product most of us can get for free!:142smilie
