I know I'm not the only person feeling the pinch at the gas pumps these days. But today as I was plunking down $55 to fill up my Jeep, I wondered what others countries are paying in comparison. Well, in most cases, I'm glad I live in the US, where it's only $4 a gallon. Here are the highs and lows:
Turkey comes in at the highest rate - a mere $10.00 per gallon. Ouch!! For that same fill up I just completed, I would have paid $140 in Istanbul. Sheesh! I think a camel would make a better choice there. Of course, if you want to get your gas cheaply, you could move to Iran, where the gas prices are the lowest at $0.12 a gallon. What?!? That's even more ridiculous. My little Jeep would have been filled for about the price of a pack of gum ($1.70). I actually expected that Saudi Arabia would be the lowest, but it is not surprising that it's a Middle Eastern country. Here's the full list of gas prices worldwide. Truly fascinating.
So I suppose I can be happy that I'm only paying $4 a gallon or I could move to Iran. Anyone know where I can buy a hijab? Hmmmm... Maybe not!
