It’s sad, but a fact: regardless of whether black gold is getting cheaper or rising in price, gasoline in Russia is only getting more expensive. Let our country enter top 10 countries in the world where the cheapest gasoline, It is unlikely that this will please domestic motorists whose salaries do not crawl up as fast as the prices of fueling stations.
According to a study by Bloomberg, the lowest gas prices are in Venezuela. Agency experts, ranking the lowest gas prices, took into account the cost of a liter of AI-95 gasoline in the III quarter of 2016 in 61 countries. And it turned out that in small Venezuela a liter of gasoline costs $ 0.01. Such low fuel prices in the country are supported by state subsidies and often there is a shortage of gasoline at local gas stations.
The most expensive gasoline in Hong Kong is $ 1.87 per liter. A little cheaper fuel is sold in Norway and the Netherlands.
In second place in the list of countries with the cheapest gasoline in the world is Saudi Arabia, with $ 0.24 per liter of “liquid feed” for the iron horse. Iran is in third place, where a liter of automobile fuel costs $ 0.34. Below, readers can find a dozen countries where gasoline is the cheapest in the world. Prices are in dollars per liter of gasoline.

And what about the availability of gasoline for the population? With this, the situation in Russia is even sadder. It is located at 33rd place, and it is overtaken by such countries as Ireland (10th place), Luxembourg (3rd place), USA (2nd place) and Venezuela (1st place). To buy a liter of gasoline, an ordinary Russian is forced to lay 2.31% of his daily income out of his pocket. The quality of gasoline also leaves much to be desired; the rating of gas stations on the quality of gasoline shows that only large chains sell high-quality gasoline.

Another parameter that the authors of the study took into account is also interesting. This is the share of gasoline expenses as a part of citizens' expenses. And here the Russians have nothing to rejoice about. According to this parameter, the Russian Federation occupies 52 lines out of 61 possible. The average driver in our country buys 333.1 liters of gasoline every year, and it took 2.11% of his salary. But the budget of Venezuelan residents almost does not suffer from the purchase of gasoline. They spend only 0.29% of the salary to buy 454.53 liters of fuel per year. The second line is occupied by the countries of the East - China and Hong Kong (0.43% and 0.46%, respectively). The largest share of salaries for gas is given by residents of Mexico (3.38%, respectively), Greece (2.87%, respectively) and Canada (2.67%, respectively).
