How do petrol prices in the UK compare to the rest of the world? We’ve looked across the world at petrol prices for a litre, estimated the average size of a fuel tank (55L) and calculated how much a trip to the station costs each one of us across the globe. Read on to find out where the UK is positioned globally and how petrol prices compare between the regions in the United Kingdom.
The most expensive place in the world to fill your car up is Hong Kong (too small to be seen on the map), where it will cost a massive £136 to fill up a tank – over double the global average (£65.22). Petrol prices in the United Kingdom are 54% more than the global average, costing on average £100.38 for a full tank.
1. Hong Kong: £136
2. Norway: £122

On the other end of the spectrum, the cheapest country for petrol is Venezuela, where to fill up a 55L tank, would cost just under £1 (99 pence). This means you could potentially run a car 30,000 miles in Venezuela for the same price as running 300 miles in the UK.
