Quick answer

Limited petrol and diesel are available at the local Dumadumana station, but prices are higher than in Maputo and supply can vary.

The practical answer

Fill your vehicle in Maputo before beginning the overland journey. Local fuel is useful as a backup, not something to depend on as your only plan.

Allow enough fuel for soft-sand driving, which can use more than normal road travel, and for any unplanned detours.
