In What Country Does a Gallon of Gas Cost $11?

Beautiful Turkey. It topped a recent survey of various nations’ fuel prices conducted by AP correspondents. I wound up discussing the article with a big, burly Turkish immigrant who runs a copy shop I occasionally visit here in San Diego. He shook his head and said with a wry smile, in a way that suggested years of frustration with the country he left behind, “At least Turkey is number one in something.”
