Check this out!On our way to Los Llanos the tour guide stopped for fuel. After filling his Toyota Land Cruiser with 55 litres of petrol (gasoline) the final bill came to 3.6 bolivars.
You get 6.4 bolivars to $1 on the black market, making the total bill for the fuel a staggering $0.50!!!!! thats less than a cent a litre.
There is a downside to this. Venezuela is the dumping ground for very old, battered fuel inefficient American gas guzzlers - the huge 2 door, made in Detroit, kind Eddie Murphy had in Beverley Hills Cop (One). The roads stink of fumes, and going anywhere in a cab is a risk of suffocation!
