Gas Prices Worldwide

I live in central IL. Today the are $3.27 a gallon. I received an e-mail today about gas prices from around the world. I was amazed to find out that Saudi Arabia has gas at 45 cents a gallon. To verify the e-mail I received, I did a Webcrawler search. CNN and USToday also report the same gas prices from around the globe. Here are gas prices from around the world:

The people of the United Kingdom pay $8.37 per gallon. I am guessing they are not compassionate with our outrage at the gas price increase.

Nor do I think we will receive sympathy from people in the Netherlands who pay $6.48 per gallon. Unfortuneately, I don't think the people in the following cities around the world will be offering sympathy cards anytime soon either:

Copenhagen, Denmark $6.08 per gallon,

Milan, Italy $5.96 per gallon,

Hong Kong $5.62per gallon,

Frankfurt, Germany $5.29 per gallon,

Stockholm, Sweden $5.80 per gallon,

Stavanger, Norway $5.07 per gallon,

Rome, Italy $4.86 per gallon,

Seoul, Korea $4.71 per gallon,

Geneva, Switzerland$4.56 per gallon,

Vienna, Austria $4.50 per gallon,

Prague, Czech Republic $4.19 per gallon, or

Tokyo, Japan $3.84 per gallon.

Havana, Cuba is only $3.03 a gallon. However, I won't be expecting sympathy from their country anytime soon!

However, perhaps our friends in these countries will send us their condolences:

Sydney, Australia $2.63 per gallon,

Johannesburg, South Africa $2.62 per gallon,

Taipei, Taiwan $2.47 per gallon,

If I lived closer to the Mexican border, I would probably want to run to the border and cross over to Mexico. I wouldn't be running to the border for Mexican food (sorry, Taco Bell!). Instead, I would want to take my vehicle and fill up in Mexico for $2.38 per gallon!

If I had a boat that would transport my car, I would fill up in these cities:

Panama City, Panama $2.19 per gallon,

Nigeria $1.92 per gallon,

The countries below likely have no concept of what it is like to have high or rising gas prices. Therefore, I will not be asking them for sympathy. Imagine paying $1.60 a gallon or less?! From now on, I am guessing this will only happen in my dreams! Here are some of the world's lowest prices for gas:

Bangkok, Thailand $1.60 per gallon,

Tianjin, China $1.54 per gallon,

Moscow, Russia $1.45 per gallon,

Almaty, Kazakhstan $1.36 per gallon,

Baku, Azerbaijan $1.15 per gallon,

These prices are so low, it makes me want to travel to these countries and fill up! I wonder how well my car would float? Here are some countries with outrageously low gas prices:

Kuwait 91 cents a gallon,

Saudi Arabia 45 cents a gallon,

and Caracas, Venezula 14 cents a gallon!

So the next time you are looking to save money on gas, you will no where to fill up!
