African fuel price database - please contribute
 
I know there are lists elsewhere on the web but let's start and maintain an African fuel price database (and Latin America and Asia come to that). Here would be a good place as any so I'll start by throwing in the Saharan country prices which I keep track of regularly on: http://www.sahara-overland.com/country

Should we get a full set of the 30-odd regularly visited African countries in a few weeks/months I (or maybe the sub-Saharan moderator) will make an A-Z country summary here with a date.

My 'cheap' etc comments are in relation to 'high' UK prices (nearly £1/litre petrol & diesel). Giving them in euros or $ may get out of date.

Chris S

Algeria - cheap?Petrol (essence) 21.2 d/litre; Super 30 d/litre(where available; unleaded available in the north); diesel 13.7 d/litre.

Chad - high?In N'Djamena: diesel 600 CFA/L, petrol 650. At least 10% more in the countryside.

Egypt - cheap?90 octane 1 LE, but intentionally made horrible to sell the newly introduced 92 octane.?92 octane 1.4 LE?Diesel 0.6 L.E.

Libya - cheap?2 star petrol 0.12LD/litre; Super 0.16D/litre. Diesel 0.15LD/litre. That and Egypt are about as cheap as it gets in the Sahara.

Mali - high?Petrol and diesel from around 500- CFA/litre - more in remote towns.

Mauritania - moderate
In Atar Petrol about 308 UM/litre; diesel 235 UM/litre. 10% more in Chinguetti and a bit more again in Oudane. A few oogs less in NKT and NDB.

Morocco and Western Sahara - moderate and cheap?7.4 dh diesel, about 14.5 dh petrol. Western Sahara prices: diesel = 4.43dh in Layounne, petrol less than 10dh. In the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilia the price is now about the same as northern Morocco and not much less than mainland Spain ~ €0.90

Niger - high?Diesel 530 CFA/litre in Agadez or 350 in Dirkou for 200L

Tunisia - moderate?Unleaded petrol about 1.1 TD/litre; diesel 0.74 TD.

(QUOTE=My 'cheap' etc comments are in relation to 'high' UK prices (nearly £1/litre petrol & diesel). Giving them in euros or $ may get out of date.)

Hey Chris,

Thats a brilliant idea, will be very helpful to all!
One suggestion: Fuel prices in Africa are directly related to the US dollar price so prices given in US$ will remain valid for longer... Zimbabwe being an extreme example.., but my experience is that over the past 4 years prices in general have remained much closer to their dollar conversion than to their local currency prices. Euros would also work.


Prices as in May 2007:

South Africa SA Rand 7.00 (US1)
Zimbabwe Zim $ 50 000.00 (US1)
Mozambique Met 30.00 (US1.2)
Malawi M Kwacha 160.00 (US 1.1)
Tanzania T Shilling 1150.00 (US .95)

As an example: In 2005 I paid 50 Malawi Kwacha for a litre of petrol (now its 160), but in 2004 MK50 was about $1 so the $ price really does not change much....

My prices for further up until Egypt are a bit out of date, but I can look em up for you if you want...

Kryztopher 16 Oct 2007 10:47

Zimbabwe -- about USD 1 per liter at the equivalent rate (now about Zim$ 600,000)

Usually you will have to get fuel on the black market, there is plenty about in Harare, however, for other areas I'm not at all sure. I hear fuel is very difficult to come by in most parts of the country. I've been stuck before in places where there is just nothing available, black market or not.
The price can vary quite wildly -- at the end of September it was about 2 USD$ per liter.

In general I assume that it will be about 1 USD per liter where ever I go.

I hope this helps.

levitan 16 Oct 2007 22:56

Morocco
 
We've just been through Morocco and Western Sahara. Unleaded was around 10.2Dh per litre in Morocco and 6.2Dh in Western Sahara.

In Mauritania we paid 500UM/litre for some petrol in a 10 litre can, but we were desperate and I think he knew it (we have see-through tanks!). We haven't visited a proper station yet for the pump price in Nouakchott, check back in a few days.

Petrol, diesel is a bit more expensive, but not much.
Cape Town unleaded = R6.70 / liter

roughly 60 pence per liter.

Cash only, you can't buy fuel with credit cards.

TonyTea 16 Mar 2008 00:55

Alternative fuels for when the fossil stuff gets too expensive!
 
Whilst it's not exactly on topic...

Remember, if you are driving a diesel then you can always fall back on using vegetable oil - it may well be cheaper and more available the way fossil fuel is going! It's something which might get you moving if there are real fuel shortages somewhere...

If you have a relatively big engined car - Land Rover, Land Cruiser etc, then running a 50% vegetable oil(ordinary cooking oil) mix will probably cause no problems - I've run a TDi Defender for the last few years on 50% with no problems except a bit of waxing on the fuel filter in freezing European weather - just carry a spare filter element! Sunflower oil is best since it's thinner, but basically whatever you can get. A modern electronic management engine might not like it due to odd feedback readings, but since a 'proper' overland car shouldn't have a reliance on something which needs a diagnostic computer to maintain it most of us shouldn't have to worry about that...

And if you have a Landy with a TD5 engine it's designed to run on kerosine or Jet A1 without any additives - that's what they tested the original designs on, so that's another alternative fuel - Jet A1 tends to be cheap (untaxed) but usually has to be bought in 210 litre drums - ask at the local airport! Other diesels, add a bit of oil to the tank to lubricate the injector pump

Fuel prices and Road conditions are what we need to know!
I've been planning a trip in southern africa and those are the facts that I have been hunting for. The other info in need is how avaliable is the fuel between locations. Will my tank make it? Will be bouncing about southern africa so can supply info, but what we need is a data base of fuel prices/avalability and road conditions globally that this can get fed into and made avaliable in a user frendly format, currancy linked ect.

Old rally champ 6 Dec 2009 23:22

As XT Girl has found, GTZ have a more or less annual world-wide fuel price survey. Here is their website section on fuel prices:
GTZ. International fuel prices
Their latest survey is from November 2008. Here is the overview of the report:
http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/en-in...eview-2009.pdf

And, Chris, as you may have seen, there is some interesting info on the UNEP.ORG website.
Here is the Africa section:
http://www.unep.org/pcfv/regions/Africa.asp

And the most interesting tables are the matrix indicating the status of leaded gasoline by country (sub-sahara) - all phased out.
http://www.unep.org/pcfv/PDF/MatrixAfricaLead-Oct09.pdf

And also the Diesel Sulphur Map (sub-sahara)
http://www.unep.org/pcfv/PDF/MapSSAf...phur-Oct09.pdf

The question I have is: what is the octane level of the unleaded in Mali? Does anyone have an accurate source?

TOTAL have many country specific websites:
http://www.total.com/en/common/group_websites/

For example: Burkina Faso TOTAL Burkina Faso : une gamme de produits pétroliers et lubrifiants where it is indicated the unleaded is 91 octane.

But no TOTAL Mali website. :confused1:

Chris Scott 7 Dec 2009 09:43

Yeti, road conditions is another thread altogether. Best to ask specifically in each regional section, but in sub-Saharan Africa for example would depend on the season in many places. Have a look at Tracks4Africa.

ORC, I suspect the octane is the same in Mali (and Niger) as it is in Burkina as all those countries are in thrall of Total's near-European prices.

Interesting to hear that UNL is all phased out in Africa of all places. I had a long 'r u sure' debate with the bloke who found that info on XT Forum. There is hope for us all.
Thanks for the links and all the rest for chipping in too. Bernd S - very nicely formatted!

August 2011

Northern Mozambique: with exchange rate at MZN 27.70 = 1 USD
Mocimboa da Praia: Diesel MZN 41.75/litre ($1.49), Petrol MZN 52.46/litre ($1.87)
Pemba: Diesel MZN 39.91/litre ($1.43), Petrol 51.50/litre ($1.84)
Mandimba (border with Malawi – filled up here due to shortage in Malawi): Diesel MZN 42.95


Malawi: with official exchange rate at MWK 150 = 1 USD
Offically set at
Diesel MWK 260/litre ($1.73), Petrol MWK 290/litre ($1.93)


This is fairly theoretical as fuel availability is very patchy, and even the offical exchange rate used above is of limited relevance as there is now a black market of up to MWK 180 for 1 USD

Nigeria: Petrol (official 65NGN - not available) 100Naira out of bottle/canister, quality mostly good, check if they are serving local bikes out of the same canister, than most likely no water added. Diesel: around 150/200NGN now, scarse at filling stations

Nigerian Fuel Prices - double as of January 2012
 
The days of cheap fuel in Nigeria are coming to a close.

Old price was 65NGN (subsidized), new price now ~130NGN (left before new prices implemented). 1 USD = 162 NGN.

Prices are now closer to that of the neighboring countries, but still quite a hardship for the general population.

Cameroon +/- 695CFA
