FUEL: Huge price increase predicted

Consumers should buckle in for tough times.

Consumers should prepare for a suspected fuel price spike in April.

Experts in various fields, including economy and debt management, have predicted an increase in petrol and diesel prices of almost a Rand per litre.

April 5 is the projected date for the hefty increase.

According to various sources, the increase in global petroleum prices will combine with a bigger fuel levy, and consumers are going to feel the pinch.

Further oil price increases could push the fuel price up even more.

Combined with the interest rate hike and inflation due to the recent drought, residents should strap themselves in for tough times.

The Department of Energy should announce the increase tomorrow (April 1).
