Hello

Some of the lower ones in the list. Japan was much higher when I was there as was Russia and South Africa.

In Japan the current prices are about
¥/litre $/US gallon $/Imp gallon
Regular 118 4.04 4.85
High Octane 130 4.45 5.34

The prices quoted were for regular in Tokyo, and Tokyo prices are a bit more than here so I wouldn't argue with their $4.24 figure.

But you should take the overall costs of motoring into account, not just fuel. Japan's car tax is more than the UK and you pay lots of toll fees.
