Americas Price Context
USA: EIA weekly retail prices — most transparent market in the hemisphere. Federal + state taxes add ~$0.57/gal average.
Canada: Provincial variation significant. NRCan publishes weekly pump prices. WCS (Alberta) trades at discount to WTI.
Mexico: PEMEX sets prices via IEPS tax mechanism. Subsidised fuel below market during high-price periods.
Brazil: Petrobras adjusts fuel prices to international parity. Diesel subsidised historically — current policy market-linked.
Venezuela: Heavily subsidised, among cheapest globally (effectively <$0.01/litre) but severe scarcity and dollar black market.
Argentina: Price controls and FX restrictions complicate pump price data. Significant gap between official and parallel exchange rates.
