Gas prices around the world
Think you pay a lot for gas? Perhaps you'd prefer to live in Venezuela.
Gasoline prices in the United States, which have recently hit record highs, are actually much lower than in many countries. Drivers in some European cities, like Amsterdam and Oslo, are paying nearly 3 times more than those in the U.S.
The main factor in price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc.
In a few Latin America and Middle-East nations, such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, oil is produced by a government-owned company and local gasoline prices are kept low as a benefit to the nation's citizens, he said. All prices updated March, 2005.

When we visited Ireland two years ago, some Norwegians we met said the price was very high, but the extra profits automatically went into a fund to develop an alternate source of energy. Even though Norway has the big North Sea oilfields, the country seems to be planning for the future.
That's what we were told.
