U.S. GAS PRICES NOTHING COMPARED TO HONG KONG

ROCHESTER, Wis. (Wireless Flash) -- Think the gas prices in the U.S. are high? Try buying fuel in Hong Kong, where a gallon of gas goes for $5.24. According to a new gas price survey by Runzheimer International, the British are also forking over a lot: $4.83 per gallon of petrol. Sweden, Japan, France and South Korea all pay more than $4 for a gallon of gas -- which makes the U.S. average of $1.43 a gallon seem a relative steal. However, the cheapest gas on the planet can be found in Quito, Ecuador, where filling up the tank costs only 50 cents a gallon.
