> Global oil prices zoomed up to $135 a barrel this past week. But that doesn’t worry Roberto Morales, a 33-year-old Venezuelan businessman. Morales, who drives a compact Volkswagen Gol, still pays only $1.32 to fill up his car with 11 gallons of high-octane gasoline, thanks to Venezuela’s subsidized fuel price. > > That means that consumers pay about 12¢ a gallon, or 1/33 of what their U.S. counterparts pay. > > … > > Iran and Saudi Arabia rank as the second- and third-cheapest places to buy gas, at the equivalent of 40¢ and 44¢ a gallon, according to a survey by Associates for International Research.

Just to let the american people know something about norway too nkr = norwegian kroner - the currency used here Today, gasprices soared by 13,50nkr pr liter for 95 octane gasoline. This equals 51,165nkr pr gallon which then kan be calculated to be 9,82$ 1 gallon petrol in norway costs 9,82$ But we dont have dinosaur-like engine’s and think that american cars does not fit inn her. We use cars like VW Passat and that is considered a large car here. A suburban or your pick-ups is something you would be seen as a freek driving cause their oversize (supersize) ---
