Here's an idea to make tons of cash, don't know if its legal though

Gasoline prices are soring through the roof.
Here in Canada it about 1.30$ per liter on average.
In Venezuela, they sell their gasoline 0.02$ per liter.
Why don't we just go to Venezuela and buy like 10000 liters, bring it back here and sell it to independent gas stations for like 1$ per liter.
It would seem that I'd be making a shit ton of cash.
What do you think? Stupid enough to work?

Have you looked into any sort of regulations?

Nope, just tossing the idea out there.
I'm sure there are regulations against it, otherwise everybody would be doing it.
Then again, might be a good idea for someone that just dont give a fuck about the rules and want to risk it.

How mush gas do you think it will take to go there and back to transport the gas?

Do you have any equipment that can handle 10,000 liters? I assume you would need a boat or a plane, both which use a lot of fuel. So you plan on smuggling the gas into Canada, huh? Smuggling 10k liters. Well you could try shoving it up your ass, but I dunno. Are you a bad enough dude?

I just checked, an oil tanker carries 688 million liters of gasoline.
So all we have to do is hijack an empty tanker, sail it to venezuela, go to a corner gas station, pump 688 million liters of gas out of it, then sail back here and sell it.
Its a foolproof plan!

It is part of OPEC though.
Thats the country we should be bombing for oil... its closer, it has cheap oil and we could drive there instead dof flying.
I wonder why it didn't happen

Because theres roughly 3.8 liters in a gallon....which is what gas currently costs. Theres no profit. Maybe you could sell to them for like .50 a liter, but how expensive is it gonna be to transport? Tankers, then hundreds of trucks, then taxes and import fees and all that garbage...

If were gonna highjack one, we should get a full one. Sell that gas, then go fill her up in venezuela.
