Why does united states get cheaper gas than almost all other OECD nations?

the US income is among the upper middle level in the OECD nations (i.e. rich nations), we are at number 9, and the rich/developed nations are 32. but we get significant cheaper gas price than almost all rich nations. (EVEN LOWER THAN THE CHINESE PRICE !)
