Consumers have been granted some financial relief for the month of March after the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) announced fuel price decreases across the board.
The department said that the adjustments were due to lower average oil prices when compared to the previous period, as well as a stronger rand against the dollar, which led to the reduction.
The decreases in fuel prices for March will be:
Petrol 93 & 95 decreases by 7c
Diesel decreases by 17c & 23c
Paraffin decreases by 8c
LP Gas decreases by 2c p/kg.
This means that the price of petrol will move from R22.16 to R22.09 inland for the 93 grade of petrol, while 95 will drop from R22.41 per litre to R22.34 a litre inland.
Diesel 0.05% (wholesale) prices will shift inland from R20.34 a litre to R20.16 a litre, while Diesel 0.005% (wholesale) will decrease from R20.45 to R20.21 per litre, inland.
