Petrol price to increase at midnight

 The price of petrol will go up by 96c a litre and diesel by 74c, while paraffin will go up by 73c.

According to the Energy Department, the main reason for the fuel price hike is the average increase in the price of crude oil, as well as the Rand/Dollar exchange rate.

So drive on down to your nearest petrol station tonight and fill up before the clock strikes midnight, otherwise you’ll have to pay a bit more for your ‘gas’.
