 Why do gasoline prices fluctuate? Crude oil prices and changes in supply and demand are the main factors to affect gasoline prices around the world. Since crude oil is the main ingredient of gasoline, prices tend to change rapidly when something impacts crude oil supplies, refinery operations or pipeline deliveries. Furthermore, seasonal changes in demand can affect gasoline prices, even if crude oil prices remain stable. Historically, prices tend to peak in summer when the travel demand increases. Other factors are crises, wars, or natural disasters in oil-producing regions, since they can obstruct the production and transportation, and thus cause higher crude oil prices.

 Oil industry in Japan In recent years, oil made up the highest share of energy consumption in Japan. Since the country lacks domestic reserves of fossil fuels, it is heavily dependent on imports. Most of Japan’s crude oil imports came from Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Nevertheless, Japan's oil consumption has decreased significantly since 1995. It only shortly increased after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011, when nuclear energy was replaced by fossil fuels. In more recent years, the figures indicated a decline in oil consumption as Japan aims to diversify its energy mix to be less dependent on fossil fuel imports and to increase its self-sufficiency rate of primary energy.

Influences on gasoline prices

The price of gasoline is a frequently discussed issue, and is a part of almost everybody’s life in developed countries. Gasoline prices worldwide are dependent of a number of factors: crude oil prices, costs for processing and distribution, demand, strength of currencies, taxation, and availability. The most influential factor is the crude oil price. This price includes the costs for exploration, extraction, and transport. What the consumer pays in the end is also an issue of national oil pricing policy. Typical regions with high taxes on gasoline are European countries and Japan. Other countries keep consumer prices low by subsidizing the costs for gasoline. Among latter countries are the United States, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Egypt, Malaysia, Bolivia, and others. There are many other factors, however, which directly influence the price of gasoline. Wars, crises, and natural disasters in oil producing regions, for example, can obstruct the production and transportation, and thus cause higher crude oil prices. Last but not least, the end-consumer defines the price through his or her demand. A higher number of people driving cars means higher prices for gasoline, which is often the case in the summer months or holiday seasons.

In 2026, liquified natural gas (LNG) was forecast to cost approximately 11.5 U.S. dollars per million British thermal units in Japan. The country imported the majority of its natural gas supply from overseas. Natural gas production in JapanSince Japan has limited natural resources, it heavily depends on imports for its primary energy supply. Only a small amount of the total supply of natural gas energy is produced domestically in areas such as Hokkaido, Chiba, or Niigata Prefecture. The natural gas produced in the around 60 oil and natural gas mines operating in Japan is mainly wet and dry natural gas. Minami-Kanto natural gas fields dissolved in water, which lies across Chiba Prefecture and surrounding prefectures, yields close to 20 percent of the total production of natural gas in the country. The saltwater in the field also includes a great amount of iodine. Japan is hence one of the leading countries regarding iodine production. LNG importsApart from the two percent of in-house natural gas production, the rest of the natural gas supply in Japan originates from liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from countries like Australia, the state of Qatar, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Japan imported over 71 megatons of LNG in recent years, making the country the world’s largest importer of LNG. Natural gas and LNG accounted for over 21 percent of the total primary energy supply in Japan, indicating that natural gas and LNG are some of the most essential resources the country requires.

In June 2020, the gasoline price per liter in the United States stood at 0.55 U.S. dollars, the cheapest among the selected eight countries. However, this is a considerable price change compared to June 2019, when figures were 23.4 percent higher.

The prices concern unleaded premium (95 RON) for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom and regular unleaded for Canada, Japan, and the United States (AKI 87). Liquid fuels demand decline following coronavirusFinal gasoline prices result from crude oil charges, processing and distribution costs, and taxes and underly supply and demand. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has reduced the demand for fuel and in turn impacted petroleum prices worldwide. The U.S. liquid fuels demand in the road sector is expected to have decreased to 8.7 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2020. As a result, U.S. monthly crude oil production dropped across all regions between March and August 2020. Diesel prices worldwideItaly also has the greatest tag on diesel prices among the above listed countries. As of that same month, the price for automotive diesel stood at 1.43 U.S. dollars per liter in the Southern European country. Diesel prices tend to be lower than gasoline prices, with the United Kingdom and the U.S. proving to be the exception.
