The differences in gasoline prices in different countries are due to government subsidies for gasoline and the size of taxes. All countries in the world buy oil at the same prices, but then impose different taxes, which leads to different retail prices for gasoline.

Prices in rich countries were higher compared to poor countries, while oil producing and exporting countries were much lower.

The United States of America is an exceptional case, as it is characterized by superior economic progress, but at the same time, the prices of gasoline are low.
