TL;DR Summary

A Visual Capitalist map tracks 128–170 countries’ gasoline costs from late February to mid-April 2026, showing dramatic global spikes driven by the Iran conflict and Southeast Asia’s import dependence. Myanmar leads with a 101% jump, the U.S. is up about 35%, and prices range from $0.09/gal in Libya to $15.65/gal in Hong Kong, reflecting subsidies, taxes, and regional supply dynamics. The surge also risks cascading into higher fertilizer and food costs, while in the U.S. monthly gas bills vary widely by state due to driving distance (Wyoming ~$279 vs. New York ~$132).
