Year on year, the price is a 15% increase compared to the N149.8 paid in February 2017.
Plateau state had the highest average petrol price in February at N208.8 per litre. Osun state had the second highest average price at N201.29per litre. Next to this is Edo state, with an average price of N200.83 per litre.
Abuja and Katsina both had the lowest price on average at N145. Kogi State had the second lowest average petrol price at N147.06 per litre.
