For everyday drivers, the drop in fuel prices mean spending less to fill their tanks
Consumers are getting some relief at the pumps as fuel prices dropped at several outlets on Friday, January 16, 2026.
Petrol has fallen from GH¢10.99 to GH¢9.99 per litre, marking a full GH¢1 reduction. Diesel also declined, dropping from GH¢11.96 to GH¢11.21 per litre, a 75-pesewa cut.
The price adjustment, reflected in the latest Ghana Oil Company (GOIL) rates, follows the recent strengthening of the cedi against major trading currencies, particularly the US dollar.
