Why Taiwan pays this much

Lightly taxed

Taiwan keeps fuel taxes low (and is often an oil producer), so its pump price sits close to the raw global cost of crude oil.

Where the money goes

An estimated split of a $3.90 gallon in Taiwan. Crude oil trades as one global price, so the part that differs between countries is mostly tax.
