Most expensive and cheapest countries to buy petrol in 2019
The latest gasoline prices around the world

Political unrest in Venezuela, a weakening Chinese economy and an unexpected increase in US output have resulted in falling crude oil prices, and this drop has translated to lower petrol prices at the pumps in many countries. Still, the cost of petrol, which now averages $1.09 (85p) per litre worldwide according to GlobalPetrolPrices.com, differs wildly depending on where you are. We reveal the nations where petrol is outrageously expensive, and the countries where it costs next to nothing, as of early February 2019.

2nd cheapest: Sudan

With the country in the midst of an economic crisis, the Sudanese government is set to axe all fuel subsidies, which has provoked a number of protests. Nonetheless, the price of gasoline is still ridiculously low at present, costing only $0.13 (10p) per litre.

Venezuela's economy is in severe crisis and the Maduro regime may be on the way out, but his government's strict price restrictions remain in place. While supplies are intermittent and limited, gasoline costs next to nothing in the oil-producing country and is cheaper than bottled water, priced at just $0.01 per litre.
