Uganda, Kenya Enter Africa’s Top 10 Fuel-Price List as Global Petrol Average Falls to $1.48

Summary
Uganda and Kenya moved into Africa’s 10 highest fuel-price countries in June 2026, displacing Tanzania and Senegal in the latest regional ranking.
The shift came amid uneven price moves across the continent even as the global average petrol price fell to $1.48 per liter from $1.51 a month earlier.
Malawi, Zimbabwe, Rwanda and the Central African Republic posted slight declines, while Seychelles, Cabo Verde and South Africa recorded modest increases; Sierra Leone was unchanged.
Fuel costs remain a broad economic strain in Africa because many countries import refined petroleum, leaving pump prices exposed to oil-market swings, currency pressure and supply disruptions.
