At $0.310 per kWh, household electricity in Spain is the 12th most expensive of the 29 countries Voltlas tracks — about 4% above the median of $0.297/kWh. Household natural gas runs $0.111 per kWh, 11th of 25. Filling up costs $2.01 per liter of gasoline ($7.62/gal), the 19th highest of 30 — and roughly 39% of that pump price is duties and VAT.
