Ghana retained its 10th position with the lowest fuel price in Africa in September 2024, GlobalPetrolPrices.com has disclosed.

Accordingly, Ghana’s average petrol price of $0.985 per litre ranks it 43rd globally from the previous 45th.
Libya retained the number one position in Africa with the lowest fuel price of $0.031 per litre on the African continent but 2nd globally.
Egypt and Angola came 2nd and 3rd respectively with fuel prices of $0.035 and $0.323 per litre.

Fuel prices fall between 2% and 4%
