I personally do "NOT" believe the deal with Venezuela could help lower fuel prieces , because the
FUEL PRICES is controlled and monopolized by the DR Government, and this is one of the "GOLD MINE" for Leonel, just imagine how many cars in DR and people over there like to buy a car...... So, Leonel knows this much better, and he knows that it doesn't matter for how much he increases the fuel price, there are always a "DEMAND MARKET"

In 96-00 I said Leonel was the best thing to happen to DR since Trujillo, but right now I just know that he is no different from the likes of Hippo and all those thieves...Good job Lio-nel, Keep it going !!!!!!!

The price of gas has gone up world wide. Which one of you fools believe that the DR can possibly control the price of gas?

Dude, you are a penny short and a day late; the discussion is center around Venezuela's 12 cents a gallon of gasoline.

It's the working poor which make a large % of Dominicans who will be hit the hardest as always.
