State-subsidized

Angola is a major oil producer and holds pump prices far below the world market through subsidies.

Where the money goes

An estimated split of a $1.24 gallon in Angola. Crude oil trades as one global price, so the part that differs between countries is mostly tax.

Component	Per gallon	Per litre
Crude	$0.74	$0.20
Refining	$0.19	$0.05
Distribution	$0.30	$0.08
Subsidy (below cost)	−$2.26	−$0.60
Pump price	$1.24	$0.33

Drivers here pay less than it costs to get the fuel to them. The government absorbs the difference, so the bar above runs past the pump price.
