Coke: 4 MYR/l, 7.48 SEK/l, $1.22 per liter
Gasoline: 2.70 MYR
Coke ratio: 1.48

Brazil: (1 BRL = 3.98 SEK, $1 = 6.12 SEK)
Coke: 600 ml for 2.50 BRL, 4.17 BRL/l, 16.60 SEK/l, 2.71 $/l
Gasoline (normal): 2.599 BRL
Coke ratio: 1.6

The conclusion so far is that Malaysia have so far the cheapest Coke in the world and the lowest Coke ratio.

Då kanske siffrorna blir ännu mer otroliga. Tack för en intressant blogg.
