Misleading though. Apart form Saudia, places like Indonesia and Venezuela have a lot lower wage than us, so thats probably a rather high percent of their wages to fill up.

Venezuela - $0 . 03


The Venezuelan currency is the Bolivar . The Bolivar fluctuates around 2000 to one US dollar .


For decades, authorities have tried in vain to stop the flow of cocaine across this border from Colombia into Venezuela . These days, it is a new fight they are losing - petrol smuggled in the other direction .

Venezuela, which is a member of the Opec cartel of petroleum exporting countries, has traditionally supplied its people with cheap fuel .

But the bolivar currency's steep devaluation in recent years has made inexpensive petrol almost free, fuelling a vigorous smuggling business across the border from Venezuela into Colombia, where leaded fuel costs 16 times as much .

"We poor people live off of this business," says Victor Julio Torres, standing on a Colombian roadside among jugs of Venezuelan petrol .

When a litre costs 0 . 7p, and filling the tank of a 4x4 costs 42p, it is a fair question . Petrol is so cheap here - reputedly the cheapest in the world - as to be almost free . Even under the artificially overvalued official exchange rate, petrol is 45 times cheaper than in Britain .
