Countries with cheapest petrol
Iran
India has been witnessing extremely high petrol and diesel prices. Most of the price reforms are hikes in prices and the remaining few reductions in the price come just before elections temporarily. It would also be very generous of me to say that the lowering in the prices is modest; in fact they are miserly. So, just as a treat to your eyes, or even the opposite as it can elicit a strong hatred towards the government, we bring to you the cities with the lowest prices of Petrol in the world. No wonder most of them are from the Middle East, but you would be shocked to learn that they are not the lowest. Venezuela sells petrol at a tenth of the price in India.

Iran
At a price of just Rs 18.41 for a liter, on average every Iranian spends just Rs 2223.40 per month.
Algeria
In Algeria the price per litre is Rs 14.90 which is almost a fifth of our current price for petrol. The petrol budged per month on average is Rs 1799.94.
Kuwait
Kuwait, another country from the Middle East, sells petrol at Rs 14.90 per liter.
Expenditure towards petrol every month = Rs 1799.94
Turkmenistan
Cost per litre: Rs 14.90
Spendings per month: Rs 1799.94
Libya
A cheaper competitor from the African continent is Libya with a price of just Rs 13.15
Monthly Expenditure: Rs 1586.89
Bahrain
Back to the UAE, Bahrain is level with Libya at the price of Rs 13.15 for every liter.
Qatar
Did you believe you could travel in the beautiful city of Doha, around The Pearl and everywhere else in Qatar with petrol at a super-low price of Rs.10.52 per liter. Expenditure per month: Rs 1270.39
Saudi Arabia
Probably as a form of alms form the mighty Allah, petrol here in Saudi Arabia is just Rs 8.76, cheaper than a 200ml coke bottle. Cost per month: Rs 1058.87
Egypt
Probably the pictures of the Giza and Sphinx seemed more photogenic with the camels, and it could have lowered the demand for petrol maintaining it at Rs 7.89 per liter. Imagine pending less than Rs. 1000 on petrol (Rs 953.44 on average) when you live in Egypt.
Venezuela
This makes me wonder if it is not just water that plunges from a whopping 979m of the Angel Falls (Salto Angel) in Venezuela. My speculation of the flow being a mixture of petrol and water (though I know fully well that it’s not true at all) can explain two things: the golden color of the river, which the highest waterfall on Earth feeds and the lowest prices for petrol in the World.
Price per litre: Rs 7.01
Monthly cost: Rs 846.93
