Title: Venezuela tops the ten cheapest countries in the world for petrol - at 8p a litr
Post by: eye30 on August 24, 2012, 17:16:19: Top ten cheapest countries for petrol:

In the second exclusive annual cheapest petrol worldwide report by This is Money, alongside new and used car website Evans Halshaw, we reveal just how cheap it is to fill up a car in other areas around the world.

We also compare petrol prices to wages in each country mentioned – and reveal that one country spends just 0.4 per cent of disposable income on petrol, while another sees motorists spend almost 20 per cent of their income on filling up their car, despite the cheap fuel costs.

Personally I would rather live in the Middle East than South America.

Bugger......

You aren't able to get alcohol in Saudi Arabia either, but if you know the right people, well, anything is possible.

In Qatar I believe you can get alcohol in the "good" hotels (Hilton, Sheraton, etc.). I know you can in UAE, Bahrain and Oman.
