Gas prices around the world:

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) – Gasoline prices in the United States, which have recently
hit record highs, are actually much lower than in many countries. Drivers in
some European cities, like Amsterdam and Oslo, are paying nearly 3 times more
than those in the U.S.

The main factor in 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 a few Latin America and Middle-East nations, such as Venezuela and Saudi
Arabia, 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. All prices updated
