Another fuel price hike

Here we go again! As expected, the price of fuel will be going up again next week Wednesday in South Africa. The retail price of petrol will increase by between 75 to 81 cents a litre on Wednesday next week from last month’s 50 cent increase, according to a statement from the department of minerals and energy on Friday. This comes of the back of a 55 cent a litre increase the month before, raising further inflation concerns with inflation already standing at 10.9%.

The price of unleaded petrol in Gauteng increases to R10.70 a litre and to R10.50 at the coast. Diesel 0.05% sulphur goes up by 68.4 cents, 0.005% by 68.4 cents and wholesale paraffin by 54.4 cents. Illuminating paraffin shoots up by 73 cents. Diesel in Gauteng now costs R11.49 a litre and R11.35 at the coast.
