Key Findings
  • Pump prices vary by more than an order of magnitude globally, largely due to taxes/subsidies rather than crude oil costs alone.
  • High-income European economies tend to have higher retail gasoline prices because of higher fuel taxation.
  • Major oil producers can still have high pump prices if taxes are high or refining/import constraints exist.
  • Currency depreciation can raise US$/L prices even if local-currency prices are stable.

About This Statistic

This statistic shows the annual average retail price of premium unleaded gasoline, expressed in US dollars per liter, across countries. It reflects what consumers typically pay at the pump, including taxes, subsidies, and distribution costs.

Cross-country differences are often driven less by crude oil prices and more by national tax policy, exchange rates, refining/import dependence, and fuel subsidy regimes. Because the series uses a standardized fuel grade (premium unleaded) and a consistent unit (US$/L), it’s useful for comparing consumer fuel cost burdens internationally—especially where household transport is car-dependent.
