BULGARIA WITH WORLD'S SEVENTH-HIGHEST PAIN-AT-THE-PUMP SCORE
It is small wonder that Bulgarians find it difficult to fill up their car tank since the country has the seventh-highest pain-at-the-pump score in the world, according to a Bloomberg survey.
The average daily income in Bulgaria is BGN 31,31. The share of a day's wages needed to buy a liter of gas is 8.25%, the ranking pointed out.
The highest pump price was in Turkey, where motorists paid USD 9.98 a gallon. That’s about 32 percent of their daily income. Norwegian drivers paid USD 9.97, or 3.5 percent of income.
Motorists in Venezuela, a nation that subsidizes gasoline to cap prices, paid 4 cents a gallon.
The price list was created using data compiled by Bloomberg from sources including Associates for International Research Inc., Europe’s Energy Portal, U.S. Energy Information Administration, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Prices for the US and European Union countries are from April 16. Prices for all other countries are from April 4-12
