Counted from OpenStreetMap on 19 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.

Rio's forecourts (BR, Ipiranga, Shell and independents) thread the Linha Vermelha/Amarela, Avenida Brasil and the Zona Sul tunnels. Flex drivers weigh etanol against gasolina per fill, and GNV (CNG) is huge here; Rio has Brazil's largest natural-gas vehicle fleet. EV charging is growing at malls and along the orla.

Local tips

  • GNV is a Rio speciality; thousands of taxis run on it; dedicated stations line the main arteries.
  • Use the 70% rule for ethanol vs petrol each time you fill.
  • Fill before the Niterói bridge or long tunnel crossings at rush hour; queues are real.

Only 14 of the 402 stations mapped in Rio de Janeiro say whether they sell diesel. The rest probably do; nobody has recorded it. See Rio de Janeiro on the map →

Browsing needs no sign-up. Anything a driver confirms carries the minute it was made — and until someone does, the station says so plainly, so nothing on the map pretends to be fresher than it is.

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.
