A recent report assessing global gasoline (petrol) prices has positioned Nigeria as the 22nd country with the most budget-friendly petrol rates. Titled “Gasoline Prices, Octane-95,” the report, dated early in the month, disclosed that the average worldwide petrol price stands at $1.30 per litre.
Nigeria’s average petrol price, as of 2024, stands at $0.722 (N660.25) per litre, earning the country a noteworthy spot among nations offering economical fuel. The report emphasized a general correlation between a country’s wealth and its petrol prices, with wealthier nations generally having higher prices.

Iran secured the top position globally with an astonishingly low average gasoline price of $0.029 per litre, closely trailed by Libya at $0.031, making it the African nation with the most affordable petrol. Venezuela secured the third spot in this ranking.
An intriguing outlier in the report was the United States, an economically advanced country that surprisingly boasts low gas prices, standing at $0.911 (N833.08) per litre. The report attributed such variations to the influence of taxes and subsidies on gasoline prices across different countries.
