As a difficult year draws to a close there is a bit of good news on the horizon: motorists can look forward to further fuel price relief next week, the Automobile Association (AA) has said.

The association was commenting on the Central Energy Fund’s preliminary fuel price data, which was showing substantial over-recoveries in the fuel price.“The drop in the petrol price is currently pegged at between 40 cents and 44c per litre, while diesel is showing an almost 56c per litre reduction,” the AA said.“Illuminating paraffin is set for a drop of around 49c per litre.”The AA said that the rand/US dollar exchange rate had gradually strengthened in South Africa’s favour during October and that international petroleum prices had shown a substantial decline over the same period.

“As December approaches, it looks as if motorists planning to drive to holiday destinations will have a little more spending money in their budgets,” the AA concluded.
