Why it matters. A single figure says little on its own: its direction over time and its place among other countries say more.

Methodology
Average retail pump price of petrol per litre in local currency.
Retail pump price of petrol per litre, in local currency. Unit: local per litre.
Grade and place used: Nigeria, premium motor spirit, national average from the National Bureau of Statistics Price Watch; Kenya, super petrol, the Nairobi maximum price set by EPRA for the pricing period that starts on the 15th, dated by the month it starts; South Africa, 95-octane petrol, the inland (Gauteng) price set by the government; Egypt, 92-octane petrol, the fixed price set by the Ministry of Petroleum, dated by the month it took effect.
Ghana is not yet included: retail prices there are set by fuel marketers, and no official pump-price series has been chosen. Prices are not directly comparable between countries, because grades, taxes and price controls differ.
