Petrol price decrease less than expected

1 August 2016 By Alan Straton

Yes people in this day and age cents still matter!

The price of petrol is set to decrease by 99 cents a litre on Wednesday.

A litre of unleaded petrol will be R12.35 inland and R11.87 on the coast.

Diesel (0.05% Sulphur) will decrease by 74 cents a litre, while diesel (0.005% Sulphur) will decrease by 73 cents.

The wholesale price for illuminating paraffin will decrease by 66 cents a litre, while the single maximum national retail price for illuminating paraffin will decrease by 88 cents.

The maximum retail price for LPGas will go down by R1.60 per kilogram.

The downward adjustments to the prices are mainly due to a stronger rand against the US dollar and an oversupply of refined petroleum products in the global markets. – SAnews.gov.za

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
