According to the report, Egypt tops the African list with a consumption of 802 thousand barrels per day, followed by South Africa with 660 thousand barrels, then Algeria with 428 thousand barrels, Nigeria with 316 thousand barrels, and Morocco with 286 thousand barrels.

The report revealed that fuel consumption in Libya is constantly increasing despite the scarcity that the local market suffers from, especially in the south and border areas.

Fuel smuggling is one of the most prominent problems facing successive Libyan governments, as none of them has been able to put an end to this ongoing phenomenon in light of the high daily fuel consumption.

Fuel smuggling in Libya is due to several reasons, including the large difference in fuel prices between Libya and neighboring countries, as Libya is ranked second in the world on the list of countries with the cheapest gasoline prices.
