World's Highest Gas Prices

Amsterdam, The Netherlands
$8.01 a gallon
$128.16 for a 16-gallon tank
Gas has surpassed the $8-a-gallon mark in Amsterdam, but only chumps drive in the world’s most bike-friendly city. Sensible Amsterdammers take the trams or ride their bikes everywhere, crisscrossing the picturesque canals. Follow their lead and rent a sturdy three-speed bike from Rent a Bike for $21 a day—less than the cost of three gallons of gas—and pedal your way along the canals.
