Counted from OpenStreetMap on 20 August 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed.

Cape Town's stations (Engen, Shell, BP, Sasol, TotalEnergies and Astron) line the N1/N2 approaches and the M3/M5 spines. South African prices are state-set monthly (coastal prices slightly below inland). Attendants pump fuel by law and custom. EV charging is growing along the Garden Route and at the V&A.

Local tips

  • Prices change the first Wednesday monthly, so fill before announced hikes.
  • Attendants fuel your car; a small tip is customary.
  • Fill before N1 Karoo runs; station spacing north gets long.

Prices in Cape Town appear when a driver reports one or an official feed carries it, always with the time it was recorded, so you can judge for yourself whether it is still true. See Cape Town on the map →

Open the map and see what is actually there

Looking costs nothing and needs no account. Any status a driver confirms carries the time it was made; where nobody has, the map says that instead of guessing, so you can decide for yourself how much to trust it.

Why Refuelia

The only honest map of fuel & EV — worldwide

Where there’s really fuel and a really working charger, right now. Prices come from drivers — someone types in what they actually paid, so it is real, timestamped, and missing until somebody posts it. We never invent a number. Fuel and EV together, worldwide, free.

What a pin can say

Fuel available
a driver confirmed it, and the card says when
Limited fuel
some grades out, or a queue at the pump
No fuel
somebody stood there and told us
Open by its timetable
the posted hours say open. Nobody has checked
No fresh report
and the map says so, rather than guessing

Every other map draws the first one and stops. The last two are the point: when nobody has checked, this map says nobody has checked, instead of guessing green.
