According to a recent study in Foreign Policy magazine, it costs just $1.06 to fill up a Honda Civic in Turkmenistan. This is versus $31.42 in the US. The highest cost nation was Turkey, where the same fill-up sets drivers back $93.98.

The information is from the Wall Street Journal's Economics Blog. The article points out that the US is the largest gas consumer in the world (no surprise there). The WSJ additionally notes that the US uses more gas than that of the next 20 largest national consumers combined.
