From the Royals to The Beatles, Shakespeare to Stonehenge, the Brits seem to have it all; sadly they also have empty pockets after refilling their tank. Coming in at a whopping $7.227 per gallon, it's no wonder Londoners are known for their gloomy disposition!Canada

As one of the largest oil producers in the world, possessing huge reserves of crude oil, it's no wonder that Iraq's fuel prices are very affordable at $2.166 per gallon. This is also due to the Iraqi government's decision to heavily subsidise their fuel prices.Singapore
