Pretoria motorists may soon catch a break at the pumps, with early indicators pointing to a possible drop in fuel prices driven by global market shifts and currency movements.

The latest data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF) shows continued positive over-recoveries — the key metric for fuel price adjustments.

Petrol shows an over-recovery of between 19c and 21c per litre, while diesel is set for a more significant drop, with a 38c over-recovery recorded for both grades.

Here are the projections at the end of week three:

  • Petrol 93: decrease of 19 cents per litre
  • Petrol 95: decrease of 21 cents per litre
  • Diesel 0.05% (wholesale): decrease of 38 cents per litre
  • Diesel 0.005% (wholesale): decrease of 38 cents per litre
  • Illuminating paraffin: decrease of 30 cents per litre
