Which Auto Would You Drive IF ?????

 Venezuela — Gasoline is so dirt-cheap in this country that the comparison undervalues dirt. Or, for that matter, almost any other element Venezuelan drivers can think of."It's cheaper than water," said one motorist, pointing out that bottled water costs far more.

Venezuela sits atop the world's largest oil reserves, and its government sets the price of premium gasoline at about 5 cents a gallon.
U.S.  about $3.30 per gallon.

Canadian price per gallon about $5.60 depending where you live.

 

Maria Osorio owns a small,fuel-efficient hatchback, the extra mileage is nice but she has another reason for preferring a modest car.I have an SUV at home, but I'm too afraid to take it out because I might get carjacked, she said, explaining that she has been robbed at gunpoint five times in the past two years.

 

The government says it won't raise public transportation prices.
Not even Hugo Chavez, who died in March after 14 years in power, dared to mess with the pumps.

The government is spending more than $12 billion a year to subsidize domestic gasoline sales, Venezuelan energy officials say, and the gravy train is coming off the rails.
The projected price increase is likely to push gas closer to 17 cents a gallon, at unofficialial  exchange rates.
