Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.
My name's Ed Butler and this week I'm on assignment in Ghana where,
where our story begins with a bit of a curiosity involving fuel.
So we're driving north right up to the border between Ghana and Burkina Faso.
It's a town called Paga in the north of Ghana
and it is remarkable just how many filling stations there are along the way.
In the car with me is a local journalist, Edward Adeti.
It may pass as one of the wonders of the world.
A very short stretch that is about 11km from Navrongo to where we are, Paga.
