Pain at the Pump

Bloomberg, 2013

This global chart ranks countries by gas prices to show how much a gallon of fuel really affects an everyday worker's budget. It works out exactly how much of a day's wages goes to the pump, making international economics easy to understand.

Helpful background notes explain the politics of each region. You can switch easily between gallons and liters, and numbers convert across fifty different currencies.
