• Star Oil has increased petrol and diesel prices by GH¢0.30 per litre, with the new rates taking effect on July 26, while RON 95 remains unchanged at GH¢16.75.

Motorists who buy fuel from Star Oil will pay more from Sunday, July 26, after the oil marketing company (OMC) announced an upward adjustment in the prices of its petrol and diesel, citing rising international petroleum prices and exchange rate movements.

• Super (Petrol): GH¢14.47 per litre (up from GH¢14.17)

• Diesel: GH¢17.67 per litre (up from GH¢17.37)

The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) has attributed the latest upward trend to increases in refined petroleum prices on the international market and fluctuations in the cedi-dollar exchange rate, both of which directly affect Ghana's fuel import costs. 

Earlier this month, several major OMCs, including GOIL and Star Oil, increased fuel prices after a period of sustained reductions that had offered motorists temporary relief.
