Huh? The photo is from Zambia, southern Africa, not South Africa. That was listed in Zambian kwachas, and the highest price on there is $1.53 per gallon.
I think it's just more the shock value of seeing four digits for a gas price.

Are you guys sure that price is per gallon? Just about the rest of the world is on metric so that could be liters.
