Fuel price drop… in the ocean. 

SA – Fuel prices have made a turnaround from last month, with (slight) across-the-board price reductions in all fuel types expected when the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy announces adjustments for May.

Petrol is expected to be cheaper by around 13 cents a litre, with diesel showing a 32 cents-a-litre drop and illuminating paraffin down by 23 cents.As we head into winter, South Africans who use paraffin for lighting, cooking, and heating especially will no doubt be glad at this news. For its part, the Automobile Association (AA) is hopeful the recent streak of price stability will continue to provide more price relief to fuel users in the short to medium term.
