The removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria has brought a lot of challenges for many people in the country. Vehicle owners in the country are some of the people feeling the extra brunt of the increase in fuel prices.
Overnight, the price of fuel increased by 3x, and many are still trying to readjust to the “new normal” in Nigeria.
The latest tale on fuel subsidy removal is that of a Nigerian car dealer who lamented on his Instagram page that it cost him about N40,500 to purchase 25 litres of fuel for his 4-plug Honda, which barely was a half tank.

He then proceeded to ask his followers how much it’ll cos to fill a a V8 Turbo Mercedes-Benz AMG G63.
