"The Price Of Gasoline"
As in many other countries rich in natural resources Turkmenistan has a history of offering its citizens dirt cheap fuel. About a year prior to my visit the price was however adjusted, albeit to a level that still reads "Incredibly cheap" to most people (especially us Swedes who pay amazing money for fuel). In the eyes of the Turkmen the new price is however a sham.
As seen above the price of one litre of A95 class gasoline is 62 tenge, roughly 20 American cents. A year ago the price was one fifth of this number.
