Which country has the highest petrol price?
Answers (1)
Norway has the highest petrol price although it is one of the largest oil export countries in the world. Its current petrol price (2012) is set at £1.64 per liter. The addition of road tax and CO2 tax contributes to the high price.
The second highest country is Turkey with £1.62/liter, followed by Netherlands (£1.48), Italy (£1.46) and Greece (£1.45).
Although the petrol price in Norway is the highest, the cost of filling petrol is less than 8% of average wage in Norway. Comparing to this, the cost of filling petrol in Eritrea costs 61.1% of their income, which makes petrol very unaffordable in Eritrea.
