    Currently about 605 yen ($3.90 USD) in (rural) Japan. That only seems cheap in dollars because the yen has tanked in the past few years. 5 years ago when there were somewhat similar gas prices it would’ve been about $5.75

      So you can’t compare it before and after the Trump-israel-Iran War (i called like this cause i noticed the USA dosn’t wanted this war at all) cause your currency value changed that much?

        So these days I’m seeing 154 yen per liter on the low end, and in 2019 I also saw about that price. But right now 1 USD is 156 yen, but in 2019 it was only worth around 105 to 110.
