Gasoline prices	1.39		[24th of 141]
DEFINITION: Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data.

imports, net > % of energy use	7.54 %		[79th of 130]
DEFINITION: Net energy imports are estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.
