The world's highest gasoline prices

Global fuel prices continue to vary widely, with Hong Kong topping the list as the most expensive place to buy gasoline at $4.14 per litre as of April 2026.

Malawi follows at $3.84, reflecting supply constraints and high import costs, while the Netherlands ranks third at $2.80 per litre.

Israel, Denmark and Liechtenstein also feature among the most expensive markets, driven largely by high taxes and environmental levies.

Monaco and Germany both post prices of $2.47 per litre, with Albania and Singapore rounding out the top 10.

The data highlights how policy choices, taxation and distribution costs heavily influence pump prices across countries.

In Kenya, fuel remains comparatively cheaper, with petrol retailing at Sh197.60 ($1.53) per litre and diesel at Sh196.63 ($1.52).

While lower than global highs, these prices still place pressure on households and businesses amid broader cost-of-living concerns.
