Petrol Prices Set to Decrease, While Diesel Increases
Story 1
Petrol consumers will breathe a sigh of relief at the pumps as the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Department has announced a decrease in the price of fuel for the month of August.
Those who use diesel and paraffin, however, will have to dig deeper into their pockets, with prices set to increase.
Both grades of petrol are expected to decrease by 28-cents per litre while diesel will increase between 63 cents and 65 cents per litre.
The department attributed the adjustments to a slight drop in Brent Crude oil prices from $69.36 to $69.06 per barrel.
