But out of 30 -OECD countries the USA still comes 29th in price for petrol. Whereas the UK is 5th paying about 70% more per litre than USA.
But if we remove the taxation on the price for all 30 countries the price is basically the same , give or take a couple of cents. .
It is the tax placed on petrol that makes the difference overall.
Roughly in UK for every $10 we pay for a gallon - $8 is tax.
