Gasoline prices in China have dropped for the first time since 2002. Number 93 juice now costs RMB 3.55 per liter (USD 0.43 / liter) in Beijing, RMB 0.13 cheaper than it was yesterday.
In the US state of Missouri which currently has the cheapest gasoline in America, gas goes for USD 1.92 per gallon, or about USD 0.50 per liter. So it’s cheaper to drive your SUV in China than it is in gasoline-loving USA.
