The association says steepening climbs in international petroleum prices are being worsened by a dipping rand/US dollar exchange rate, painting a grim picture for local fuel prices.

April will usher in higher fuel prices across the board as many motorists already struggle to fill their tanks.Fuel levy increases at a difficult time in the country’s economy will contribute to what are expected to be extremely high fuel price increases at the end of March going into April. These increases will worsen the already-dire financial positions of millions of South Africans, according to the Automobile Association .

These expected increases do not include the 26 cents a litre increases to the General Fuel and Road Accident Fund levies announced by the minister of finance in his February budget, which come into effect in April. Within the current scenario with the addition of the levies, petrol is expected to increase by a whopping R1.16 a litre and diesel by 92 cents a litre.
