The March 2026 data confirmed Gabon’s position in this select group. With a price of 675 FCFA per liter, significantly below the African average, which often exceeds 900 FCFA in non-producing countries, Gabon stands out for its affordable fuel pricing. This status is attributed to the country’s national fuel subsidy policies and its status as an oil producer, which helps keep pump prices low.
