Think gasoline is expensive? It’s all relative. The cost of filling up the 39-gallon tank of a Chevrolet Suburban in Turkey is $389.22, while in the U.S. it’s $137. In Venezuela, it’s just $1.56.
Bloomberg has surveyed 60 countries around the globe to see which drivers are paying the most to fill up their tanks and who is paying the least.
You wouldn’t know it given the prominent position it takes in public discourse and political debate, but U.S. drivers fare well in the ranking of global gas prices, with a relatively low tax rate.
But OPEC’s oil exporting heavy-weights give their drivers the best deal, with hefty subsidies making prices as low as 4 cents a gallon.
Check out Bloomberg’s detailed interactive tool, to see the complete 60-country list and find outhow much gasoline citizens of various countries consume and how much of their paychecks is spent on fuel.
