Caracas: 3p a litre of petrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the winner is... Venezuela.
Venezuela's leader, Hugo Chavez, has done little to make friends with Western nations since winning power in 1999, including threatening to sell the nation's stock of US-built F-16 fighter jets - supplied before he took over - to Cuba, China or Iran.

Chavez's manipulation of the country's oil exports - which account for over half of federal revenues and 95% of exports - means paying only a paltry three pence a litre of petrol in Caracas. Yes, you get to fill up your car for around a couple of quid.
