Since 1991 GTZ has carried out regular worldwide Fuel Price Surveys. One of its goals is to provide a worldwide comparison of selling prices as a vehicle for highlighting energy price policies in developing countries. Fuel prices result from the interplay of many factors: crude oil prices, scarcity of specific fuels, market forces, processing and distribution costs, and the intensity of competition all have a key influence. Since fuels are a globally traded commodity, however, trade prices are relatively similar worldwide. The GTZ International fuel prices 2007 presents the fuel prices for about 170 countries in total, with a focus on the cost of promoting biofuels.
