Oil-Rich Venezuela Is Out Of Gasoline<\/a><\/h3>\n\"Venezuela\"<\/picture>\n

After lining up for an entire day to get a plane ticket to visit her relatives in the western city of M\u00e9rida, Josefina Garc\u00eda did not know if she and her octogenarian mother were going to reach their final destination on time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

The airport is located 76 kilometers away from the city and when they tried to book a cab in advance to take them to the place where they were going to stay, the taxi company said they could not make bookings because there is a shortage of gas and management did not know if they were going to have enough fuel on the day of Josefina\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

Once they landed, the 61-year-old and her mother found a cab that had enough gas to take them to a certain part of the city where a cousin would pick them up. In the meantime, another cousin was lining up for gas. He was able to fill his sedan\u2019s tank after waiting for more than six hours.<\/p>\n

According to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, the\u00a0highest proven oil reserves<\/a> in the world, including non-conventional oil deposits, are in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

\u201cGentlemen: There is no more gasoline in Venezuela. In Venezuela, we are out of gas. In Venezuela, there is no gas oil. In Venezuela, there are no lube oils,\u201d said Iv\u00e1n Freites in a televised press conference. Freites is the secretary of the professional and technician division of the United Federation of Venezuelan Petroleum Workers.<\/p>\n

In his address, Freites said that poor management led to the stoppage of 80 per cent of the country\u2019s refineries. \u201cOnly Amuay and Card\u00f3n refineries are operative and that is nothing. They produce 40,000 barrels per day and the national demand is over 200,000 barrels of gas per day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
