Gas is 0.12 (yes, 12 CENTS) per gallon in Venezuela - GoFuckYourself.com

In a few Latin America and Middle-East nations, such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, oil is produced by a government-owned company and local gasoline prices are kept low as a benefit to the nation's citizens

If it can be purchased for 12 cents per gallon there, why is it so much higher elsewhere?

1. They have to ship it here and that costs money.
2. State gas tax.
3. Federal gas tax.
4. In CA we have "special" cleaner gas and there are only 4 refineries producing it and I believe one went offline a month or so back.
5. Supply and demand. Price goes up we still buy. If we stopped buying prices would drop but we aren't about to stop buying gas.

well it appears from the article that the gas in venezuela is subsidized, so its not realy a fair comparison. They are getting that money from somewhere.

We could prob cut the cost of fuel here by subsidizing it and doubling the tax on beer.

Government regulated pricing.

Nismo · 08-15-2005, 11:32 PM

.12 is alot of money to them.

tristan_D · 08-16-2005, 12:13 AM

most oil producers have gone independent that's why the government can't do anything. that's just bad.

It's the government that shoulders the burden of the oil's skyrocketing prices.

My next car is gas/electric for sure. I pay more on gas than the car payment.

Violetta · 08-16-2005, 03:44 AM
