Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Motorists will be hit with fuel price increases across the board on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Central Energy Fund (CEF) has confirmed the retail price of 93 and 95 octane petrol will increase by R1.21\/l while the wholesale diesel price will rise by R1.06 (0.05% sulphur) and R1.19 for (0.005%). Illuminating paraffin increases by 64c\/l.<\/p>\n

The latest increases follow fuel price hikes in February and are attributed to a weakening rand and higher international oil price.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the weaker rand is contributing a small margin to the under-recovery and increase in prices expected, the overall picture looks bleak and consumers will feel the pinch,\u201d said the Automobile Association.<\/p>\n

Some good news for consumers is that the two main levies on fuel \u2014 the General Fuel Levy and the Road Accident Fund levy \u2014 will not increase for the third consecutive year.<\/p>\n

From March 6 this is what motorists will pay for fuel:<\/p>\n

Inland:<\/p>\n

93-unleaded \u2014 R24.13<\/p>\n

95-unleaded \u2014 R24.45<\/p>\n

Diesel 0.05% \u2014 R22.42 (wholesale)<\/p>\n

Diesel 0.005% \u2014 R22.61 (wholesale).<\/p>\n

Coast:<\/p>\n

95-unleaded \u2014 R23.73<\/p>\n

Diesel 0.05% \u2014 R21.70 (wholesale)<\/p>\n

Diesel 0.005% \u2014 R21.91 (wholesale).<\/p>\n
