Why prices differ

The standard pump price (₦380/scm for cars, ₦450 for heavy vehicles) is set by the gas supply chain, and some stations sell below it.

Few stations outside Lagos, Abuja and a handful of states means long queues and extra travel to refuel.

Conversion cost depends on engine size and cylinder type; new iron cylinders cost less than imported fibre ones.

Union drivers can get free or subsidised conversions, and private car owners can apply for a 9% conversion loan.
