Posted by Anita Froneman on 3 May 2022

Motorists were glad when Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe announced a drop of 12 cents per litre in the price of petrol.

However, the price of diesel will increase sharply (a 92 cents-increase per litre on 50ppm and a 98 cents on 500ppm).

According to IOL, the reason for this is the ‘lower [diesel] exports from Russia’.

The new fuel prices are as follows (as of 4 May):

Inland:

Petrol 93 octane: R21.51per litre

Petrol 95 octane: R21.84 per litre

Diesel: R21.93 per litre

Coastal:

Petrol 93 octane: R20.99 per litre

Petrol 95 octane: R21.12 per litre

Diesel: R21.31 per litre
