Why Kazakhstan pays this much

State-subsidized

Kazakhstan 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 $2.71 gallon in Kazakhstan. Crude oil trades as one global price, so the part that differs between countries is mostly tax.

Component	Per gallon	Per litre
Crude	$1.63	$0.43
Refining	$0.43	$0.11
Distribution	$0.66	$0.17
Subsidy (below cost)	−$0.79	−$0.21
Pump price	$2.71	$0.72

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.
