Ladysmith motorists be warned: Petrol price set to increase in September
Petrol users will be hit the hardest, with an increase of 61 cents a litre
Sad news, Ladysmith! The petrol price is set to increase next month for sure. What date? Not sure as yet, but as soon as we know, we will inform you.
September will see fuel prices climb by a substantial amount, reports the Automobile Association (AA), commenting on unaudited month-end fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund.
Petrol users will be hit the hardest, with an increase of 61 cents a litre, while diesel could climb 46 cents and paraffin by almost 50 cents.
The AA said: “The majority of the increase is attributable to strength in international petroleum prices, with just four cents of the hikes due to rand weakness.”
