Should we go in there to get that cheap gas?
How can they fund terrorism and nuclear (nuke-U-lur) weapons with gas that cheap. Are they just throwing it inour faces?

There was an article in Yahoo a while back about some countries where the price of gas is as cheap at that 39 cents. What is going on is that the government is subsidizing gasoline and those governments are going broke in the process. There is no way the US could subsidize the gas like that here. We have way too many drivers using way too much gas. It would drive the taxes up so high that no one could afford to get a car much less gas to put in it.

Better question: Why are they using gallons to measure gas in a metric country. That must confuse the heck out of the Iranians

Because they don't have any cars to put gas in. Look at the price of hay in Iran.

Because the average person there makes $17 a month. Add up the percentages and you will they are percentage wise paying almost as much as us.
And no we should not "go in there" to get it.

They don't sell gas by the gallon in Iran.

Is that 39 cents in US currency or Iranian currency?

Government subsidy. Actually, they just raised the price, to the expected howls of anguish.

Iranians have no money, jobs, or democracy........in a country like that 39 cents is a ton of hard cash.......liberals would love it there..no freedom of speech, no rich people, no human rights........virtually a democratic party paradise

Because there are no cars in Iran, they only use it to burn books and flags.
