The Department of Minerals and Resources has released fuel price adjustments for October 2021. The petrol is coming down, slightly, while the price of diesel will increase.

Consumer budgets in South Africa are stretched to the max and fuel prices continue to add further pressure.

In September 2021, the price of crude oil and petroleum products increased while the Rand / US Dollar exchange rate remained fairly firm.

As such, movement in the price of petrol is marginal with a 4c per litre decrease for both 93 ULP and LRP grades while the price of 95 ULP and LRP will decrease by a mere 1c per litre.

The price of diesel, however, is on the up with a 22.8c per litre increase for both 0.05% and 0.005% sulphur grade diesel. The price of illuminating paraffin will increase by 32c per litre.

Fuel prices will be adjusted as of 6 October 2021.
