Africa-Press – South-Africa. Motorists can breathe a sigh of relief as fuel prices see a slight drop from Wednesday.
Both grades of petrol will go down by 5 cents a litre. Motorists will also pay 37 cents less for diesel at the pumps.
Illuminating paraffin at the retail level will decrease by 75 cents a litre, while LP gas will be 89 cents less per kilogram.
The small cuts have been attributed to a stronger Rand against the US dollar and lower oil prices.
Mineral and Petroleum Resources spokesperson Robert Maake: “The under recovery on petrol is mainly due to the switching costs to summer fuel grade in preparation for driving season in the northern hemisphere. The Minister of Finance has increased the fuel levy by 16 cents on petrol and 15 cents per litre on diesel during his budget vote speech on the 21st of May 2025.”
