Fuel prices going down on Wednesday

Significant decreases in fuel prices.

Do not fill up your tank tomorrow as the fuel prices will go down on Wednesday October 2.

Here are the fuel price adjustments for October 2024:

  • Petrol 93 ULP & LRP: 106.00 cents per litre decrease
  • Petrol 95 ULP & LRP: 114.00 cents per litre decrease
  • Diesel 0,05% Sulphur: 114.00 cents per litre decrease
  • Diesel 0,005% Sulphur: 112.00 cents per litre decrease
  • Illuminating Paraffin: Wholesale price: 111.00 cents per litre decrease, Single Maximum National Retail Price (SMNRP): 148.00 cents per litre decrease
  • LPG: 23.00 cents per kilogram increase in the maximum retail price

The chairman of the South African Petroleum Retailers Association (SAPRA), Henry van der Merwe, welcomed the decreases.

“Lower fuel prices put more disposable income in the pockets of consumers. This could stimulate broader economic activity as consumers may allocate more funds to goods, services, and leisure, thereby boosting retail sectors,” says Van der Merwe.
