South African drivers can expect to save anywhere from R28 to over R100 on fuel this month thanks to the recent price reductions.
Last week saw a big relief for local motorists as the cost of petrol came down by as much as R2.04 per litre.
Unfortunately, the price reduction was much less dramatic for diesel, which only saw a decrease of 46 cents and 56 cents per litre for Diesel 50ppm and 500ppm, respectively.
The end result is that this is where fuel prices stand for September 2022:
Fuel type | Inland | Coastal |
---|---|---|
Petrol 93 | R22.95 | R22.30 |
Petrol 95 | R23.38 | R22.73 |
Diesel 0.05% | R23.96 | R23.31 |
Diesel 0.005% | R24.16 | R23.52 |
Illuminating Paraffin | R17.60 | R16.81 |
