What is Fuel Price Check?
A fuel price check answers two everyday questions: what are typical pump prices where I am (or where I am planning to drive), and how have global oil markets been trending lately?
This page combines recent retail averages by country with a separate chart of Brent and WTI crude oil — so you can connect what you pay at the pump with the bigger picture, without confusing the two.
How It Works
Retail data starts from OpenVan.camp’s public JSON feed (weekly refresh). For some countries we replace headline gasoline and diesel with manually synced national bulletin values when the feed is known to diverge (Pakistan uses PSO/Shell board figures). Your country is guessed from edge headers when possible; otherwise pick from the list. The crude chart uses public Brent and WTI daily CSVs for roughly the last six months.
Formula
Retail: reported national or typical average in local currency per litre or US gallon (source-dependent). Benchmark chart: daily settlement or spot-style close in USD per barrel for Brent and WTI.
Formula Explained
There is no single equation that converts Brent into your litre price — taxes and margins differ by country. That is why we label crude separately and keep retail in the currency and unit each dataset uses.
Example
For Pakistan, gasoline and diesel on the cards follow the national PSO/Shell board for the bulletin effective date; the Brent/WTI chart still reflects global crude in US dollars per barrel, not PKR pump history.
Tips & Best Practices
- ✓Compare this page with the Fuel / Gas Cost Calculator when planning a trip budget.
- ✓If prices look wrong for your city, remember they are averages — check a local station app for live pumps.
- ✓Use the country picker after connecting through a VPN to see another market.
- ✓Watch both retail cards and crude trends when oil news is moving fast.
Common Use Cases
- •Travelers checking typical fuel costs before renting a car abroad
- •Remote workers curious how headlines map to local pump averages
- •Students comparing energy economics across countries
- •Anyone separating crude-market news from local tax and retail effects
