ESTO HARÁ las delicias de los proponentes de la economía dirigida: mirad qué colas para poner gasolina en China, el segundo consumidor de petróleo del mundo pero que mantiene el precio de venta al público artificalmente bajo a pesar de la subida del crudo.

Unas gotas de nostalgia para ellos.

ACTUALIZACIÓN. ¡No, no tiene nada que ver con la economía dirigida! JBW en los comentarios apunta a una información que lo explica todo:
Enterprising petrol stations in western China have taken service to new heights by offering sex with a tank of gasoline.

Some of the more than 1,000 filling stations in the region of Ningxia have been luring motorists with the services of a prostitute along with petrol and diesel oil, an industry publication said.

``Sometimes there is no clear dividing line whether the customers come for gas or sex, but the sex service is based on the condition that you have to buy petrol first,'' said China OGP, which is published by the official Xinhua news agency.

``The term no money, no honey has changed into no petrol, no honey,'' it said.
