3. Cuba raised gas prices in order to reserve fuel for electric power generation.

Tourism eats up a lot of fuel. Those old US cars get no more than 6-8 MPG. lol. That is why most cars in Cuba are not American relics, the majority of cars in Cuba are French and Asian economy cars that are not sold in the US.

Most people don't know that if a shipper ships anything to Cuba they are banned from US ports for 6 months.

Imagine what that does to the availability of shipped products, like oil.

Not just oil ... anything/everything, aside from a few small exceptions that have to do with supporting privatization in Cuba.

So much missing from this "blame the victims" propaganda video.
