Fuel Prices Drop
Story 1
South Africans are set to benefit from lower fuel prices today. This comes from a decline in global crude oil prices and a stronger rand. Month-end figures from the Central Energy Fund indicate that petrol prices will decrease by 62 cents per litre for 93 Unleaded and 66 cents per litre for 95 Unleaded. Diesel is also expected to see significant cuts, with prices dropping by R1.36 per litre for 500ppm and R1.49 per litre for 50ppm. Department spokesperson Robert Maake says the reductions will push coastal prices of 95 Unleaded petrol and 50ppm diesel to their lowest levels since February 2022.
