Fuel prices might not be the most exciting thing to talk about, but let’s be honest, they affect almost every aspect of our daily life. From the cost of food to how much we spend getting around, an increase or decrease in price is always noticed.
This is why when global oil prices start rising due to war, it’s usually bad news for many countries. Still, some African countries still manage to keep fuel prices relatively low.
According to GlobalPetrolPrices.com, these ten African countries have the cheapest fuel prices in March 2026: 
1. Libya – $0.024 per litre
Libya’s large oil reserves and heavy government subsidies keep prices extremely low, making it the only African country with the cheapest fuel price on the continent.
2. Angola – $0.327 per litre
In Angola, fuel costs $0.327. As one of the major oil producers in Africa, the country benefits from domestic crude production that helps keep the fuel affordable for everybody.
3. Algeria – $0.357 per litre
Algeria’s strong government subsidies and well-established oil and gas sector continue to keep fuel costs low at $0.357 per litre.
4. Egypt – $0.462 per litre
Fuel in Egypt costs $0.462. While it’s still affordable, recent reductions in fuel subsidies have led to gradual price increases compared to more heavily subsidised markets.
5. Sudan – $0.700 per litre
Economic challenges and limited refining capacity influence pricing, making fuel in Sudan cost $0.700, but it still ranks among the cheaper options on the continent.

6. Ethiopia – $0.844 per litre
In Ethiopia, fuel costs $0.844. The country’s heavy reliance on fuel imports plays a key role in the price being higher compared to other countries but still cheaper than in some places on the continent.
7. Tunisia – $0.870 per litre
In Tunisia, fuel costs $0.870. The government helps control fuel prices, so people don’t have to pay too much. But sometimes, prices still go up a little high.
8. Niger – $0.886 per litre
In Niger, fuel is also affordable. Even though the country has oil, it doesn’t refine a lot of it locally, so this affects how much people pay for fuel.
9. Liberia – $0.910 per litre
In Liberia, fuel costs $0.910. The country buys most of its fuel from other places, which is why the price is a bit higher than in some oil-producing countries.
10. Nigeria – $0.802 per litre
In Nigeria, fuel costs $0.802. Even though Nigeria has a lot of oil, fuel can still be expensive because the country imports refined fuel and prices change often.
