At current exchange rates, this amounts to US$ 9.64/gallon. Fuel prices have always been very high in Brazil, despite the country being a net exporter of hydrocarbons. Coupled with an underdeveloped transport infrastructure that lacks long distance rail transport, these fuel prices are a serious threat to economic sustainability. On the other hand, Br$5.8/US$ provides an incentive to undertake purchases and construction in country that build real estate.

I also think my country is rapidly destroying your government. Look at the soybean and corn farmers in the Midwest; they're bankrupt. What a shame! It makes you want to cry, doesn't it?
