The price of both petrol and diesel will increase as of the first Wednesday of September.

As of Wednesday, the 4th of September petrol will increase by 11c a litre for both 93 and 95 unleaded. Diesel will see a bigger hike as it goes up by 26c a litre at midnight.

Oil prices have steadily dropped over the course of August meaning without currency fluctuations, SA may have seen a drop in fuel prices of between 30 and 50c a litre. Unfortunately, our Rand has devalued badly over the month against the US dollar resulting in a rise in the cost of fuel.

Take not to fill up your tanks before midnight's price hike.
