Pretty sure that’s American propaganda. I was checking the Middle East for prices, and I see much cheaper values there. This is after conversion, comparing Sept. 2026, with similar volume.

Kuwait: $1.41
Egypt: $1.50
Saudi Arabia: $1.81
Qatar: $2.13
Texas: $5.86

I think the issue is conversion, cost of living differences, and their own proximity to global pipelines & production.

Europe: roundabout 10€, depending on Thema country. So about 12 USD per gallon.
