Motorists are everywhere. Driving a car is often the most convenient way to go where you gotta go, whether you’re in Bondi, Bamako, or Bangkok. So, while a select few countries monopolize the fuel extraction industry, the price of gasoline and diesel varies from country to country, depending on affordability, availability, and local taxes.

And these fuel prices have yo-yo’d dramatically since the pandemic hit.

Budget Direct decided to take a global look at fuel costs. The team indexed the cost of gas and diesel worldwide for an up-to-date picture of prices and affordability in every country where data is available.
