Fuel prices are starting to decline slightly as Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) introduce new pump rates for the second pricing window of April, effective Thursday, April 16, 2026.
This brings some modest relief to consumers.
The price adjustments follow updated minimum pricing guidelines from the National Petroleum Authority, along with recent government measures aimed at easing fuel costs.
Star Oil has revised its prices in line with these changes. Petrol has been reduced by 3 pesewas per litre, from GH¢13.30 to GH¢13.27.
Diesel saw a larger drop of GH¢1.00 per litre, decreasing from GH¢17.10 to GH¢16.10.
Its RON 95 product has also been revised downward to GH¢14.67 per litre from GH¢14.99.
State-owned GOIL has also aligned its pump prices with the updated pricing window.
Petrol is now selling at GH¢13.27 per litre, down from GH¢13.30, while diesel has declined to GH¢16.10 per litre from GH¢17.10.
However, its Super XP 95 price remains unchanged at GH¢15.77.
The reductions mark a turnaround after successive price increases in recent pricing windows, largely driven by volatility in global oil markets amid tensions in the Middle East.
The latest changes also follow government intervention to absorb GH¢2.00 per litre on diesel and GH¢0.36 per litre on petrol, aimed at cushioning consumers against rising fuel costs.
