It's from CNN but I'm not sure how accurate it is when you look at Australia.....Propaganda on CNN never! Gas prices around the worldThink you pay a lot for gas? Perhaps you'd prefer to live in Venezuela.Gasoline prices in the United States, which have recently hit record highs, are actually much lower than in many countries. A few countries, like Venezuela have prices that are far lower.Gas pains The main driver of price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc.In Venezuela, on the other hand, oil is produced by a government-owned company and local gasoline prices are kept low as a benefit to the nation's citizens, he said.

He was paying 7.48 DKK per litre which is $1.68 AUD (for 95ron).. far from the $5.08 they claim in the table This price is from a year ago.
