Petrol enjoys partial deregulation at the moment unlike household Kerosene or Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) otherwise called diesel, Jet-A1 and others that have been completely deregulated.
These fully deregulated products are selling for between N230-N260 per litre at fuel stations and N300 and N350 at black market.
