The Price of Tea in China

We've heard that gas prices in the States are increasing, so we thought we'd share a quick comparison.

Pump price for 93 octane:

• 4.65 Yuan/Liter
• 8.011 Yuan/US$
• 0.264 Gallons/Liter
• = 2.20 US$/Gallon

To put this in perspective:
The fuels here are much dirtier than the stuff in the States, so a higher octane is required. The three octane options in China are 93, 97, and 98.
17% of the overall price is a Value Added Tax
And finally, the Chinese government heavily subsidizes fuel to maintain current growth of the economy.
