notice that no where in the article does it mention the price of gas per gallon ... thats because they get fuel from hugo chavez and even with the hike in prices .. the country on average is paying less than a dollar a gallon. this story is pure spin and lies set up to make the american public feel like its not alone in supporting a corrupt billion dollar a year oil industry. gasoline could be sold for as little as 50 cents a gallon at the pump in this country and the companies involved would still make millions. its disgustingTime for us to protest the recent increase in price at the pump. My baseball bat is ready, able and willing to knock some sense in these greedy oil company CEO and oil speculators. Obviously the government won't do anything about it.But CNN is reporting the following...

"This year, the government will spend $660 million to import gasoline, of which the government will have subsidized $380 million, he said. Of that, $150 million worth of gasoline will have been sold for higher prices in neighboring countries, he said.

For example, under the old system, $27 worth of gasoline in Bolivia was worth $90 on the international market, he said. In response, owners of private cars, taxis and trucks equipped their vehicles with double tanks, filled them up in Bolivia and drove them across the border to sell the gasoline in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Peru, he said."

Sounds like maybe some exploited the system and now they are all having to pay for it.
