Honest $2 gasoline?

This is what gasoline SHOULD cost without OIL MAFIA:

Gasoline in Venezuela costs about 12 cents a gallon,

Low gas prices plague Venezuela (YEAH...RIGHT...)

CARACAS — As US officials consider tapping the country’s strategic oil reserves to lower gasoline prices, analysts say a price hike is what Venezuela needs to wean itself from a consumer addiction that threatens to bankrupt this oil-driven economy.

“It’s criminal how cheap [gasoline] is,” said Gonzalo Ibarra as a gas station attendant fills up his shiny silver Mercedes Benz for less than a dollar. “I pay more for the tip than the gas.”

The 64-year old lawyer is in no need of a government handout but as a wealthy car owner is one of the biggest beneficiaries of a gasoline subsidy that’s costing the state’s economy at least $1.5 billion in revenue even as it struggles to recover after two consecutive years of loss.

Mr. Ibarra is unusual in that he says he would welcome a price hike but doesn’t believe President Hugo Chavez, who is facing an election next year, could pull off such a feat in a nation where cheap gasoline is considered a birthright. “It’s a very delicate matter.”

Gasoline in Venezuela costs about 12 cents a gallon, well below the $4 a gallon or more paid in most of the industrialized world.
