I known the question you've all been wondering: just how much does gas cost down here in Venezuela?
Well, after a family tour of Caracas and a pit stop at the local gas station I can finally answer that question. There were two grades of gasoline: one at .07 Boliviar Fuertes per liter and other at .097 Biolivar Fuertes per liter. Doing a quick calculation from the numbers in the photo:
(.070 VEF/ 1 L) * (3.785 L / 1 gal) * (1 USD / 2.152 VEF) = $0.12 per gallon
(.097 VEF/ 1 L) * (3.785 L / 1 gal) * (1 USD / 2.152 VEF) = $0.17 per gallon
So there you have it, $0.12 per gallon for the standard grade. Double checking on the Internet confirms this number. I'm sure pompous Hummer owners everywhere must be salivating at the thought. Unfortunately, I've noticed a few of them down here too.

Brian it sounds like it is cheap enough for gas down there. Very interesting that people have hummers. It sounds like you are having an interesting time and learning new things. Hope the rest of your trip goes good. Adelaide Minor
