  1. **1. Tool:** Made the world map, bar chart, and legend all with D3.js, converted to SVG, imported in Canva, and did the rest in that.

    **2. Data:** From [globalpetrolprices.com](http://globalpetrolprices.com/). Price might be a little lagging, but this is one of the most reliable sources available: regularly referenced by Reuters, AP, and many highly reputed publishers. full data [[here]](https://data.tablepage.ai/d/gasoline-price-changes-by-country-with-sources).

    **Changes since last post:** Nearly half the countries had their gas prices update since the last post, so this is obviously quite a different chart. I also changed the negative y axis’ like the top comment suggested.

  2. Interesting. The US is less directly impacted by the blockade at Hormuz but in terms of price they are hot harder than most of Europe, which actually replies on those imports.

    I guess a lot of European countries have prices that are already much higher though, so the price increase in percentage is lower. Some countries also reduced taxes, fees and tariffs on oil and gas.

    The Philippines is on the verge of a public transport lockdown due to excessive price gouging on gasoline and diesel prices.

  4. Australia here, thanks poopy pants, and to all your bootlickers that voted for ya!

  5. All the Canada subs keep saying even if the oil industry here picked up we’d be paying the same amount cause its a global market, worked just fine for Norway

  6. Now, can you show who had the cheapest gas prices prior to the war?

    Betting it’s the same places as the biggest hikes.

  7. In Hungary the government introduced price controls. They maximized the price of gas, for cars registered in Hungary, foreigners have to pay market prices.

  8. The color jump from 30 to 60 could use rethinking. Unless, is 30% seen is critical, and 60% catastrophic?

    Why would US increase so much? Are producers taking advantage of the situation or do they rely on a lot of iranian oil?
