This is the case in most European countries, whereas in oil-rich nations like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, gasoline is cheap. In Venezuela, gasoline sells at around 12 cents a gallon. It’s cheaper than water. In Saudi Arabia, it’s about 45 cents per gallon. In Qatar, gasoline prices recently increased 25 percent to a whopping 88 cents per gallon.
