Regarding the share of taxes in the price at the pump, Russia is found in between leading EU countries (where this share reaches 65%) and the US (20%), and is close to Canada (37%). At present consumer prices of gasoline in Russia cons tute 90% compared to the US volume, 66% compared to those in Canada, 44% in comparison with such prices in Japan, and 39% against the average price level of five leading EU countries.
