Fuel Price Relief on the Horizon for South African Motorists!
Good news for South African drivers! Preliminary data suggests a welcome decrease in fuel prices is expected to hit pumps in September. According to the Central Energy Fund, motorists can anticipate a slight reprieve after months of escalating costs.
Specifically, the data indicates a potential decrease of around 4 cents per litre for 95 octane petrol. While not a massive drop, any reduction is a welcome change for budget-conscious drivers.
Diesel Users Set to Benefit the Most
The biggest winners appear to be those who rely on diesel. The forecast suggests a significant decrease of approximately 55 cents per litre for diesel. This will provide much-needed relief for businesses and individuals who depend on diesel-powered vehicles and equipment.
93 Octane Petrol Also Seeing a Decrease
Drivers using 93 octane petrol can also expect some savings. The projected decrease is around 12 cents per litre. While less substantial than the diesel drop, it will still contribute to easing the financial burden on consumers.
While these are preliminary figures, the indication of a price decrease is a positive sign. Keep an eye out for official announcements in the coming days to confirm the exact figures and effective dates. This small victory offers some respite from the ongoing pressures of rising living costs.
