Key Findings
- •Gasoline prices vary by roughly two orders of magnitude globally, largely due to taxes/subsidies and pricing regulation.
- •Several oil-producing countries show very low pump prices, while many European economies have among the highest due to fuel taxation.
- •Because transport fuels are economy-wide inputs, gasoline prices are often closely watched as a cost-of-living and inflation signal.
- •Comparing US$ prices alone can be misleading—pair with income or PPP metrics to assess affordability.

About This Statistic
This statistic reports the average retail pump price of gasoline (petrol) in each country in 2023, expressed in current US dollars per litre. It is an eye-opening indicator of how taxation, fuel subsidies, exchange rates, refining/transport costs, and domestic crude production shape everyday living costs and mobility.
Cross-country gasoline prices are often counterintuitive: some oil-producing countries keep prices very low through subsidies or price controls, while many high-income countries levy substantial fuel taxes for revenue and environmental policy. Because pump prices are directly visible to consumers, this dataset is frequently used to contextualize inflation, transport affordability, and energy-policy tradeoffs.
