Ghana retained its 10th position with the lowest fuel price in Africa in September 2024, GlobalPetrolPrices.com has disclosed.
This is coming despite the continuous marginal reduction of fuel prices at the pumps.
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%
The prices of petroleum products fell between 2% and 4% for petrol, diesel, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas, beginning tomorrow August 1, 2024.
