Worded differently: fuel is no longer practically free in Venezuela.

  Closer to: fuel is slightly less practically free in Venezuela, but still unbelievably cheap.

    It's not quite so "unbelievably cheap" when the minimum wage is $13/month. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-16/venezuela-raises-minimum-wage-30-it-s-still-only-13-a-month http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-16/venezuela-... The minimum wage in the U.S. is somewhere around $1,200/month, so a rough comparison (gallon of gas as proportion of income) might be if gas cost $10.00/gallon here.
