At least with Chavez, they can get around with cheap gas and have some redistribution of funds to the poorest people. And lastly, I think every person outside of the US finds the current administration to be more of a despot than the leader of Venezuela. (ie Q: "How can Hugo Chavez affect the world?" -- US gov't commission response: "Affect oil prices $5-$8 a barrel") versus ... Q: "How can President Bush affect the world?" -- you know the answer)
Whether or not an outsider to the US Presidential Election process can differentiate between our system and that of a military coup manufactured presidency is inconsequential.
Pete Schweizer's book Reagan's War provides the needed perspective with regard to this form of governing and it's tragic denouement.

(There are a plethora of success stories that substantiate this.)

Gentlemen, I'm sorry for my little rant there, but I hope my American countrymen understand my position.
As for gas prices, in my area, they have gone below $2.00 several times over the last few weeks at some stations.. for regular. I use Amoco 93 and it has been running around $2.21 to $2.24 a gallon. On Thursdays, the BP station I use has "cents off" (7 cents) for their 93 fuel.
