Motorists will get some relief at the pumps next week, the Department of Energy said on Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The price of all grades of petrol will decrease by 25 cents on Wednesday, 7 June, while the price of diesel will decline by 23 cents, the department said.<\/p>\n

The latest announcement will come as a relief for consumers who endured a 30 cents increase in May.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Automobile Association (AA) underlined the rand’s gain against the US dollar during most of May, with further support from retreating international petroleum prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of these factors have contributed to the reduction in the fuel price,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The AA said that OPEC\u2019s decision to continue its production cut for another nine months showed that there was concern in oil producing nations about a continued world oversupply of oil. This could mean a period of relative price stability.<\/p>\n

On the home front, it said that the background political noise affecting the rand continued to play a role.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith political uncertainty set to continue, our medium-term outlook for the fuel price is that lower international petroleum prices will be key to maintaining local fuel price stability if the Rand weakens again,\u201d the AA said.<\/p>\n
