Last Update:

"Fuel prices are subsidized and controlled by government, and have been frozen since 1999. Fuel prices along the border are set higher to discourage out-smuggling. Border filling stations sell fuels at much higher prices except those within the quota. Venezuela has been operating a regional program, PetroCaribe, since 2005. PetroCaribe has 18 members and 12 joint ventures. In Oct 2011, the president of Venezuela’s national oil company, PDVSA, reported that members received 92,000 bpd of oil and oil products."
