Fuel prices up again

Some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have begun marginally increasing fuel prices as the second pricing window for January takes effect.

Leading OMCs, including state-owned GOIL and Shell, have already adjusted their petrol and diesel prices.

At GOIL, petrol, which sold at GH₵14.99 per litre during the first pricing window, is now retailing at GH₵15.74. Diesel prices have also risen slightly, moving from GH₵15.60 per litre to GH₵15.77.

Shell has followed suit, increasing petrol prices from GH₵15.30 per litre to GH₵15.59, while diesel has gone up from GH₵15.66 per litre to GH₵15.79.

The upward adjustment is attributed to rising crude oil prices on the global market and the depreciation of the cedi.

However, some OMCs have yet to revise their prices. Star Oil continues to sell petrol at GH₵14.75 per litre and diesel at GH₵14.99. Similarly, Total Energies has maintained its prices, with petrol at GH₵15.50 and diesel at GH₵15.99.

The changes highlight the ongoing fluctuations in the fuel market, with consumers likely to feel the impact as prices adjust across the industry.
