MOTORISTS can expect the petrol price to increase in August, this is according to recent information received by the Automobile Association of South Africa.
The AA reported the increase has mainly been driven by the weaker Rand/US dollar exchange rate.
The petrol price is set to increase by 19 cents per litre, while diesel will go up by about 30 cents per litre.
“The Rand accounted for about two-thirds of the hike, with a slight uptick in international fuel prices contributing the remainder.”
