A little bit more than 4 dirhams, like 4.25, around that.

P.S.: The fuel-stations in Mauretania between Nouadhibou - Nouakchott are also included.

Just a quick add:

Last week, the fuel station more close to the Mauritanian border was having problems with the pump. They had to shut it down for 45min until it worked again. So, if you're planning to fill out all jerrycans before leaving Western Sahara, be cautious and fill out at least one station before. Then, if the last one is working you can just spend a few dirhams to complete the deposit.

Cheers,
José
