I'm sure there are some errors in this list. It shows Mexico at 1.00 and USA at 0.77, but I doubt if there has ever been a day in the past 20 years that Mexican gas at the pump was more than even Texas, which is lower than the USA average. Consistently, Mexican gas is about 10% below the price in Texas, and much lower than southern California, and that ratio almost never varies.
In Venezuela, gas is virtually free, but they charge about a dime a gallon for it in order to pay wages to the attendant who pumps it..
The USA price on the chart would translate to about 3.35 a gallon, so was probably about a year ago.
I think my country (the Netherlands) wins the title...
$2.35 for a liter that's what? like $9 a gallon?
Why are the gas prices in Northwestern Europe (UK, Benelux, France, Germany, Scandinavia) so expensive?
It is more expensive, but the distance you have to travel every day are not so big. I need to fill my tank every week ( $55 by current price), so I need to spend for gas here way more than you over there.
That is not entirely accurae as fuel prices are more expensive in New Zealand than Australia and in that list it says New Zealand is cheaper than Australia.
I think Turkey is more expensive than Netherlands, at 1.93 EUR / liter for 93-octane gas, or $10.49 / gallon, as of 5 May 2011 according to this site: BENZINPREIS.DE - Internationale Benzin- / Spritpreise - Türkei. If I remember correctly, it was up to over $12 / gallon in 2008 (of course, the Euro was slightly stronger then, too.) What's weird is Turkey is a relatively poor country by European standards.
I filled up today for $3.74 / gallon, about 42% of the price in the Netherlands.
Canadas prices are averaging $1.25 a liter, that list has us at $0.95 a liter so its needing an up dating..
