Are you talking about raw oil or car fuel? Cause either would be highly flammable, no? I may be a skeptic but it doesn't sound like much of an idea to me..

Fuel. I know its impossible, because its pretty flammable, but the price difference is so big it really wants to make you do it!

Why doesn't Venezuela sell their oil to Brazil if it's in such large quantities? Silly Brazilians tried to implement the use of ethanol in their cars, made from the fermentation of corn or something like that. I tink Venezuela could jump in and make some profit from people who don't want to change their carburettors just to use environmentally friendly fuel

We cant just go over to Lula and be like "hey dude do you want some oil for Brazil?" the OPEC regulates who the countries will sell oil to so there isnt just one country providing the whole world and the others that have oil dont have anything. Its a very complicated. Venezuela could be a higher produce, but Chavez (the president) hasnt made good deals nor a good impression with the rest of the world, so last year the USA (our #1 buyer) left us out of a good deal. Venezuela is a very rich country for all the oil we export per day, the problem is that that money is nowhere to be found

Haha

Did you know that the OPEC was created by the Venezuelan government? It was their idea. Those were the times when this was a good country.

Per litre, Josh. Yankee fuel is per gallon - it works out at roughly half as expensive as here in Ireland. And ye still moan about it.
And Ireland is cheaper than the Uk and still you moan about it ;)

FULE IS SO CHEPE IN YOUROPE?????????????
1 Gallon = 3.79 Liters

1 Gallon of petrol in Europe costs (€1.24 * 3.79) €4.70

Using today's exchange rate, one gallon of petrol in Europe costs US$ 5.70

And you dare complain? :fero::D
