  This gives an interesting and useful perspective on the relative (un)affordability of fuel in these countries. Another factor that could add more to the story is the current fuel usage per person. If you don't use significant amounts of fuel (or more specifically you 'don't need to use significant amounts of fuel') then the price of the commodity is about as relevant to your daily life as the price of diamonds.

  The world has more oil than they have cow shiit. There is NO shortage and there never will be in our lifetime. New Energy sources will be used before we run out of oil. The world has been using oil for over 100 years. It's out dated and time for research companies to start releasing the new energies to the public.
  Oil companies have been raping Americans for over 50 years it's time to stick it up their asss. There is no reason why gasoline should be more than $1.50 in the U.S.
  It's the rich oil companies ripping off the public. If you can't see it you are either brain dead or the most naive person on this planet.

  I disagree with the assumption that we should not worry about gas prices if we don't use a car because all the goods and services around our life aren't moved by random energy; if gas goes up it eventually reflects in the prices of all kinds of stuff, from raw materials to finished goods, even service companies adjust their charge per mile traveled.

  This shows how much our governments manipulate the gasoline price. If the world really wants less invasive energy sources governments would leave the price alone. Gasoline prices would then climb and the world would embrace green alternatives. No more stupid gas guzzling vehicles parents driving two cars to their kids soccer game....

  South Korea - $6.50 per gallon. 15% of average daily wage.
• Gerardo - 9th May 2018 at 2:56pm:
  Mexico: $3.5 per gallon
  Average daily wage: $4.4
  Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 79.54 percent (Like India) and doesn't appear in the list

  Cambodia: $3.6 per gallon (~$1 per liter)
  Average daily wage: $4.28
  Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 84.11%
  Cambodia should be on the top of the list(sorry India)

  Ridiculous comparison of gas price to average wage ... in countries like India, in particular, where the average wage is so low that those making the average have no vehicles, and/or no regular need for gasoline purchase. Whether gas is 10 cents a gallon or 1000 dollars a gallon, those millions of people are not directly affected. True, there is an indirect impact on the prices of transported goods, but it is not the same as what your statistic might lead one to believe. Those in India, who actually own vehicles and/or regularly buy gas are wealthier and far less impacted than your statistic indicates. As another comment noted, your wage comparison is about as useful ... about as truthtelling for that average wage earner ... as quoting the price of diamonds.

  There are too many factors not relevant to the cost of gasoline, that do influence real quality of life, and that vary hugely from country, for these stats to have any comparative meaning.
  
  A hugely influential factor is how accessible natural resources for day to day survival are to the ordinary citizen. Where nature provides, gasoline plays no role.
  
  Another one is climate - how can you compare Nigeria and India, for instance, where winter heating is irrelevant, energy-wise to places like Canada, Norway, Switzerland, etc where every citizen requires heating for great portions of the year?

  Where is this person getting their daily wage information from? In virtually every case, the information is clean wrong! Canada, at $110 per day? I can assure you that information is not even close to being correct,
