In an era when growing gasoline costs frequently impose a substantial strain on economies, some countries stand out as beacons of relief with low fuel prices. 

While many nations grapple with fluctuating fuel costs, some countries' approach has been to subsidize fuel through government policies and tap into their abundant natural resources, maximizing their GOD’s given minerals. 

A low fuel price has numerous benefits to any given nation’s economy. Low fuel prices translate into more affordable transportation for individuals and families. Commuting to work, school, or leisure activities becomes less financially burdensome, improving the overall quality of life for citizens. 

In some parts of Africa, like Nigeria, fuel is also used to generate power via electricity generators, where the government’s provision of power supply is not sufficient.
