It's like buying gas in Saudi Arabia vs. the US.
Bad analogy. Refined gasoline is actually very expensive on a comparative wholesale basis in Saudi Arabia b/c much of the gasoline refinement capacity is outside of their area.

Prices are set by the government run monopoly to keep the king looking good and thus consumer fossil fuels are often sold without profit or at a loss. (Remember, SA has a monarch not a president.)

The cheapest gas is actually in Venezuela. Price in last 2006 survey results was $0.12/gallon.

Since he's a monarch, what the hell does he care about "looking good"?

Something to do w/ someone else feeling empowered by Allah to be the new king and being brave enough to kill him. Kings who don't keep some level of good will w/ their subjects tend to eventually end up dead. (Unless you're a tyrant and rule by fear... insert Bush/Cheney joke here.)
