Nigeria Has 8th Cheapest Petrol in the World

A new research has revealed that Nigeria has the 8th cheapest petrol in the world, only costing $1.82 per gallon of petrol! This came as gas prices have fluctuated significantly all around the world and drivers will be paying very different prices for gas this year.  The team at Zutobi , in their new research, has therefore revealed the most expensive (and  cheapest) countries around the world for fuel prices.
Venezuela, according to the research,  ranked first as it costs $0.11 per gallon which is $5.95 cheaper than the global average.
Libya comes in as the second cheapest, with the cost per gallon being only $0.15. Iran has the third-cheapest fuel price per gallon ($0.23) which is considerably less than Syria (the fourth-cheapest).
The study also looked at where in the world you can find the best value for gas: Hong Kong has the highest price of petrol anywhere in the world. The price of a gallon is $13.10 – double the global average and $1.15 more than the second most expensive place!
The Netherlands is the second most expensive place for gas around the world, costing $11.75 per gallon. This is $5.69 more than the global average – making it the most expensive nation in the western world.
At just $0.39 less than the Netherlands, Norway is the third most expensive country for petrol prices. Norwegians have to pay $11.36 per gallon on average.
Further findings show that:
  • The cost per gallon of fuel is less than a dollar in only three countries:Venezuela, Libya and Iran.

  • Only four countries have prices of over $11 per gallon of gas: Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Norway, and Monaco.
  • Iran has seen the biggest decrease in gas prices anywhere in the world over the past half-decade. Prices have been slashed by almost 3,000%.
  • The price of petrol in Saudi Arabia has risen by almost 300% in the last 5 years, making it the country that has seen the biggest increase in fuel prices in the world.
