Data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF) pointed to a significant hike in petrol and diesel prices in January, with a weaker rand and volatile oil prices working against motorists.

The year started off tough for motorists, with increases in petrol and diesel prices in January. Once again, it is set to go up this week, with petrol prices projected to climb between 75 cents and 81 cents per litre, while diesel prices are expected to jump to around 89 cents per litre.

These are the current projections: petrol 93 – increase of 81 cents per litre; petrol 95 – increase of 75 cents per litre; diesel 0.05% (wholesale) – increase of 90 cents per litre; diesel 0.005% (wholesale) – increase of 88 cents per litre and illuminating paraffin – increase of 73 cents per litre.
