Petrol and diesel prices in Guinea (GNF)
The petrol (gasoline) price in Guinea is 12,000 GNF per litre, and diesel costs 12,000 GNF per litre, as published on October 6, 2026. These are official retail pump prices, not model estimates.
At the official exchange rate of 8,797 GNF per US dollar, a litre of petrol in Guinea is worth about $1.364 and a litre of diesel about $1.364. Converted at the parallel-market rate of 9,831 GNF, the same litre costs only $1.221 — the gap is the exchange-rate premium, not a difference in the pump price.
How fuel prices are set in Guinea
Most countries in ETCurrency's coverage — Guinea included — import refined petrol and diesel or the crude they are made from, and pay for it in US dollars. The retail price you see at the pump is therefore three things stacked together: the international product price, the exchange rate used to bring it into Guinean Franc, and domestic taxes, levies, distribution margins and (often) subsidies.
Because the dollar cost is converted at the official exchange rate rather than the parallel one, fuel in countries with a large parallel premium looks cheap in dollar terms when you convert at the street rate. That is why the same litre can be quoted at two very different USD equivalents above.
Petrol vs diesel vs kerosene
In Guinea, diesel is currently less expensive than petrol (12,000 vs 12,000 GNF per litre). Diesel is the fuel of transport, agriculture and generators, so governments frequently cap or subsidise it more heavily than petrol; petrol is taxed as a consumer good. Kerosene, where sold, is a household cooking and lighting fuel and is often the most heavily subsidised of all.
Only petrol and diesel are published for Guinea; kerosene and aviation fuel are not shown rather than estimated.
How to read this price
Fuel prices in Guinea change less often than exchange rates: regulated markets revise them monthly or quarterly, liberalised ones weekly. The date on this page is the date the price was published, so a figure that is a few weeks old is normal and is usually still the price at the pump.
Pump prices vary by region and station, and informal-market fuel is priced separately from official stations. Treat the figure here as the reference retail price for Guinea, and use the exchange-rate pages to understand what it means in dollars.
