Star Oil has announced an increase in pump prices for both petrol and diesel by GH¢0.30 per litre, with the new rates taking effect from Sunday, July 26, 2026.
The oil marketing company attributed the upward adjustment to rising international petroleum product prices and fluctuations in the exchange rate.
Under the revised pricing structure, Star Oil’s RON 95 petrol remains unchanged at GH¢16.75 per litre. However, motorists will now pay GH¢0.30 more per litre for both petrol and diesel compared to the previous pricing window.
This latest hike makes Star Oil one of the first major Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to implement a price adjustment during the current pricing window. As of Saturday, other leading OMCs such as GOIL had not announced any changes to their pump prices, keeping their rates unchanged for now.
As a result, motorists who refuel at Star Oil stations will face higher costs starting July 26, while customers of other major OMCs will continue to pay existing prices until further notice.
Fuel prices in Ghana are reviewed periodically and are influenced by international crude oil and refined petroleum product prices, the cedi’s exchange rate performance, and other market factors. The latest adjustment is expected to be closely watched by consumers and transport operators, as changes in fuel prices often lead to increases in transportation fares and the overall cost of living.
