The Department of Energy has published the latest fuel price update for September, showing a sizeable cut to both petrol and diesel prices in South Africa.<\/p>\n

While prices were projected to come down by around R2.30 per litre, an adjustment to the slate levy has eaten 30 cents per litre of the price cut, resulting in a price drop of R2.04 per litre for petrol, and between 46 and 56 cents per litre for diesel.<\/p>\n

Prices will be adjusted as follows:<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Petrol 95<\/td>\nDecrease <\/span>of 204 cents per litre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

LPGAS<\/td>\nDecrease<\/span> of 165 cents per kilogram<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The changes will be implemented on Wednesday, 7 September.<\/p>\n

The average international product prices for petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin decreased during the period under review.<\/p>\n

The rand appreciated 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 29 July to 1 September 2022 was R16.70 compared to R16.87 during the previous period.<\/p>\n

This led to a lower contribution to the Basic Fuel Prices on petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin by 12.97 c\/l, 15.63 c\/l and 15.90 c\/l, respectively.<\/p>\n

The combined cumulative petrol and diesel Slate balances at the end of July 2022 amounted to a negative balance of R13.168 billion; however, the department has approved a Slate Levy of 83.68 c\/l (an increase of 30.66 c\/l) to be implemented into the price structures of petrol and diesel with effect from 07 September 2022.<\/p>\n

This is based on estimated slate cumulative movements of R3.6 billion.<\/p>\n
