Surprising. Most oil-producing countries have dirt-cheap domestic fuel prices.
2 comments

Norway is more forward thinking than most countries.

They know that oil is not going to make their country rich forever.

But domestic fuel is not cheap here (Norway). Petrol is nearly USD 2/litre, close to USD 8 per US gallon.

Electricity is slightly cheaper than some other European countries but that is changing as more and more HVDC interconnects are built and the prices are affected by the market.
