Crossing borders in Asia
On a 50-litre tank the difference between the cheapest and most expensive market in the region is $188.35. For anyone driving across borders here, filling up on the cheaper side is worth planning around when the detour is short.
Bear in mind that national averages hide local variation: motorway stations typically price above the national figure, and border towns often price against the neighbouring country rather than their own market.
