The government pays a quarter of a billion dollars for fuel every month. The Ethiopian Petroleum Supply Enterprise is the only supplier of fuel in the country, distributing petroleum to 26 oil companies that operated around 800 fuel stations. One hundred twenty of these fuel stations are located in Addis Abeba. The Enterprise supplies benzene, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene and light and heavy black naphtha.
