If you wanted an early Christmas present then you certainly have gotten one! The retail price of all grades of petrol will decrease by a staggering 161 cents a litre on Wednesday December 3, the department of minerals and energy announced today (Friday). This decrease comes off the back of a 45 cents drop in November. Certainly good news on the inflation front.

Diesel prices will also decrease, with 0.05% sulphur falling by 81 cents and 0.005% by 80 cents. Wholesale paraffin decreases by 75 cents and illuminating paraffin by 100 cents.

Petrol in Gauteng now costs R7.35 a litre from R8.96 before, and it is now R7.11 at the coast from R8.72 before.

This is good news for the interest rate. Even if they don’t cut the rate now, in Dec, they will definitely do so early 2009.
