Here is the official petrol price for May

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has published the latest official fuel price adjustments, which will kick in from Wednesday, 1 May 2024.
As has been the trend for much of April, fuel recoveries have been mixed in South Africa, with petrol showing an under-recovery and diesel showing an over-recovery.
This has translated to a hike of 37 cents per litre for petrol in May, and relief of 30-36 cents per litre for diesel.
The table below outlines the changes:
Fuel | Change |
Petrol 93 | increase of 37 cents per litre |
Petrol 95 | increase of 37 cents per litre |
Diesel 0.05% (wholesale) | decrease of 30 cents per litre |
Diesel 0.005% (wholesale) | decrease of 36 cents per litre |
Illuminating Paraffin | decrease of 19 cents per litre |
LPGAS | decrease of 46 cents per kg |
The average international product prices for Petrol increased whilst Diesel and Illuminating Paraffin decreased during the period under review.
The Rand depreciated against the US Dollar during the period under review, on average, when compared to the previous period. The average Rand/US Dollar exchange rate for the period 27 March 2024 to 25 April 2024 was 18.9036 compared to 18.8689 during the previous period.
This led to a higher contribution to the Basic Fuel Prices on petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin by 2.59 c/l, 2.51 c/l and 2.48 c/l respectively.
The combined cumulative petrol and diesel Slate balances at the end of March 2024 amounted to a negative balance of R 2.735 billion. In line with the provisions of the Self-Adjusting Slate Levy Mechanism, a Slate Levy of 21.92 c/l (no change) has been implemented into the price structures.
