Big petrol price drop this week
This is a welcome relief after motorists endured a series of petrol hikes since the year started.
Petrol will fall by around a Rand a litre this week the Automobile Association (AA) announced on Friday.
Diesel will fall by approximately 70 cents, and illuminating paraffin by about 66 cents.
This is a welcome relief after motorists endured a series of petrol hikes since the year started.
‘The Rand has continued its recent march against the US dollar, with an almost uninterrupted two-month streak of gains,’ the AA said.
The predicted drop in the fuel prices comes amid industrial action in the petroleum sector affecting refineries and depots of petroleum companies.
Regarding this strike, the South African Petroleum Industries Association (SAPIA) indicated fuel was in supply, and that it had contingency plans in place for the strike.
