Pretoria drivers could soon enjoy more relief at the pumps, as mid-May data suggests another drop in petrol prices may be on the way for June — marking the fourth consecutive decrease.

Here are the expected price adjustments:

• Petrol 93: decrease of 30 cents per litre
• Petrol 95: decrease of 30 cents per litre
• Diesel 0.05% (wholesale): decrease of 60 cents per litre
• Diesel 0.005% (wholesale): decrease of 61 cents per litre
• Illuminating paraffin: decrease of 63 cents per litre

The latest unaudited figures from the Central Energy Fund (CEF) show a slight over-recovery of around 30 cents per litre for petrol, with diesel tracking even higher at roughly 60 cents.

South Africans currently pay R21.29 for a litre of 93 Unleaded petrol in Gauteng, with 95 ULP retailing at R21.40 inland and R20.60 at the coast.

This follows price reductions of 22 cents per litre for 95 ULP and 21 cents for 93 UPL at the beginning of the month, while diesel fell by between 41 cents (50ppm) and 42 cents (500ppm).
