  1. Source? Here in Germany rightwingers love to claim that fuel got more expensive in Germany while all our neighbors had no increase.

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

    Feb 23 prices from an [AlJazeera article](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/11/which-countries-have-seen-the-highest-petrol-prices-since-the-iran-war) earlier in March, and the current prices from [globalpetrolprices.com](http://globalpetrolprices.com). Some countries that didn’t have Feb 23 prices listed by AlJazeera, % increase was not calculated and directly found from this [globalpetrolprices.com](https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/fuel_price_trend_Iran_war.php) page.

    Oil went from $65 to $110

    How can gas prices not have gone up even 10%?

    Gas prices in the USA went from $3/gal to $4/gal and everything I’ve heard leads me to believe it’s similarly bad or worse everywhere.

  4. * Since the US and Israel launched a completely unjustified and futile war against Iran that they are now losing badly.

    Fixed it for you.

    Funny how the US that is supposedly producing their own oil sees the largest increase in the western world ? Lmao

  6. For Bangladesh, our Gasoline, oil and gas prices are fixed and subsidized by the Government and any increase would be a very unpopular move. But if this energy crisis continues, the country will be bankrupt and a famine would be the most likely scenario. This chart doesn’t mean sh*t. If gas price increases in the world market, it increases everywhere except those who produce most of it.

  7. Im UK based and my local costco fuel has gone up 22%. Curious how its averaging 12.

  8. Nigeria has literal oil fields in their country?!!!!!! What is wrong with them?

  9. So it hurts the west, especially USA, but Russia is okay…

    Trump is a russian agent.

  10. Why the decision to make the cutoff for blue/red at 10%?
    It feels unintuitive to me

  11. Fuel prices in Ireland have gone up by 25%. They dropped briefly when excise was lowered by a few cents but either way, this isn’t accurate…..for Ireland at least.

  12. Chile got rid of a mechanism that would soften price spikes while increasing gas tax on lower price periods.

    32% increase for gas and 60% for diesel in just one week.

  13. what’s the point of using a diverging colour scheme if you’re going to make blue represent both positive values and negative values
