The government has dismissed rumors alleging that oil prices in Thailand are among the most expensive in the world.

Is this after they put their tax on it? Chacha’s drive to make Thailand expensive and ‘powerful’ like Singapore?

 

UK used to have some of the cheapest fuel in Europe… BEFORE the tax was applied.

And they are correct.........it is nonsense. Half the price of most European Countries. 

Diesel in Germany about 2.30 Euro (89 Baht), here capped (subsidized, preference) at about 30 Baht.

E10 (equiv to Gasohol 95) is 2.20 Euro (80 Baht), here about 40 to 42 Baht.

For once they are correct! I would expect them to be among the lowest globally. 

Wow, fuel in Texas not cheaper??

What the net says,

Diesel per Gallon close to 5 USD (167 Baht). 167/3.8 = 44 Baht.

Regular about 4 USD (134 Baht), 134/3.8 = 35 Baht.

That's what >I< would wish it to be here, regular cheaper than Diesel.

No intervention to push Diesel, "Pickups" like here.

(all numbers roughly rounded)
