Gasoline Prices: Iran vs USA Gasoline price in Iran stands at only 0.12 dollars per gallon while the same gallon in the USA costs more than 5 dollars, creating a difference of 4.88 dollars that cannot be ignored. The difference comes from a combination of high US taxes, massive corporations profits, and Iran’s significantly lower extraction costs that keep fuel affordable for its own people. High gasoline prices are mainly a huge wealth transfer from the already poor masses to the ultra-rich, as every single fill-up quietly moves hard-earned money from ordinary families struggling with rent and food directly into the hands of the elite who designed the system this way. The numbers remain clear and the transfer never stops. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
