Abu Dhabi's sole oil retailer, Adnoc Distribution, has decided to increase the number of filling stations across the UAE to 220 by 2009, a top company official said in a report.

'We have around 190 stations at the moment. We have noticed the demand for petrol and diesel has been increasing and we have to cater to this increase in demand,' the Adnoc Distribution executive was quoted as saying in the Gulf News report.
