What the freak? I just read this article in the Times about how gasoline costs less than ten cents a gallon in Venezuela, and they're all driving around in like, '70s-era Dodge Coronets and Plymouth Valiants simply because they can. This guy even referred to a '74 Lincoln Continental as "economical"--folks, that's a car that's 19 feet long and gets 10 to 12 miles per gallon. And you can literally fill it up, according to the article, for a dollar.
I'm expecting soon they'll discover there are actual dinosaurs running around in Venezuela's jungles.
Anyways do check out the original article, there's an explanation, a slideshow, and video.
