Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>After a tough year of rocketing fuel costs, South Africans will start 2023 with large price cuts expected on Wednesday, January 4.<\/p>\n

The Automobile Association (AA) estimates that petrol (both 93 and 95) will decrease by around R1.85\/litre, diesel will fall by between R2.47\/l and R2.59\/l and illuminating paraffin will be cut by around R1.93\/l.<\/p>\n

These reductions will bring the price of 95 unleaded petrol inland to around R21.57\/l, and to R20.92\/l at the coast, both prices close to those last seen in March 2022, the AA said. The diesel price will be lowered to around R21.47\/l.<\/p>\n

The cuts are due to a steep fall in the price of oil and a stronger rand against the dollar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese decreases will not take fuel prices to levels seen in January 2022 but will, nonetheless, go a long way to alleviating the fuel price burden \u2013 and its associated impact on other prices \u2013 felt by millions of South Africans,” the AA said.<\/p>\n

“For many travellers who are currently on vacation this is also good news as it will undoubtedly reduce expenses on the return leg of their journeys.”<\/p>\n
