$4.74....China...........................#9

$3.29....United States.............#56




$0.06....Venezuela..................#60

By Venezuela standard, gas is cheaper than water?

This is because of shell gas revolution in US. I was reading in some article that there were plans by Gazprom of Russia to export gas to US; but that plan went into cold storage because of cheap gas prices in US as it became uneconomical.

I really like Nordic countries' approach. Taxing gas to subsidize public welfare. China should follow suit! It can reduce pollution and at the same time help poor people by taxing richer people.

Chinese common folks are not that rich so they cannot afford higher gas prices & the CPC cannot afford an unrest.

we will be no1 oil producers in the world in 4 years. plus our new cars (by 2014-15 I think) are required to give 40 miles to a gallon.

Pakistan is ranked 1

China should dramatically increase gas price to reduce the # of cars in major cities. How about doubling the price?

Why is Turkey so high on the list?

Good suggestion!

I heard there is already a tax called 成品油消费税. But it was taxed toward enterprises, now government decide to revises this tax, it will be taxed directly towards consumers. Just like sales tax in US, 价外税.

I think it is a good policy.

Shell gas revolution means millions of job opportunities and recovery of manufacturing sector in US.

Why is Turkey so high on the list?

Half of their economy is undocumented and not taxed. Only like 10% of population pay income tax. Their government has to tax gas for their revenues, lol. That's what was explained in the article.

1)I am NOT trying to demean you or anything. I think you mean "shale" gas and not "shell" gas.
2) Shale gas, as with other fossil fuels has its own share of bad qualities and not leas to of which is heavy pollution of ground water.
3) just for your information, China has the largest proven reserves of shale gas in the world. By that standard, if you develop shale gas (fracking) industry, you might be the next "Saudi Arabia" of the world - that would truly empower china and put you miles ahead of India (and many other countries)

Proven US reserves are 665 TCF (trillion cubic feet)
China - 1165 TCF

I really like tax targeting at consumers rather than enterprises. Overheads of companies are spread and recovered from all goods, even some necessities like food and clothing, which affects poor people more. But tax at gas is more tiered and will hurt richer people more, haha.

I always laugh at some Beijing residents when they complain about pollution but they still want to drive, lol.

but companies are already fracking for shale gas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, the three states I have personal knowledge. China hasn't even start discussing about shale gas.
