The latest data released by the Central Energy Fund suggests that fuel prices in South Africa are expected to drop across all grades.
The Automobile Association reported that diesel and illuminating paraffin would experience significant changes, with a decrease of approximately 78 cents per litre for diesel and R1.39 for paraffin.The AA noted that the petrol price has stabilised, with only slight variations anticipated for tomorrow, 5 April 2023. The most recent data indicates that 95-octane petrol is likely to decrease by one-and-a-half cents a litre, while 93-octane petrol is expected to drop by 4 cents per litre.
The AA cautioned that these are preliminary and unaudited figures, and the final fuel prices will only be announced by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy on the official fuel price announcement date. However, if these predictions hold, motorists can expect some relief at the pumps in the coming week.
