The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has published the official petrol and diesel price changes for September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting warnings published throughout August, motorists are in for a hefty price hike from Wednesday, 6 September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrol prices will be going up by R1.71 per litre, and diesel will be hiked by between R2.76 and R2.84 a litre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average international product prices for Petrol, Diesel and Illuminating Paraffin increased during the period under review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rand depreciated against the US Dollar during the period under review, on average, when compared to the previous period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average Rand\/US Dollar exchange rate for the period 28 July 2023 to 31 August 2023 was 18.6731 compared to 18.2801 during the previous period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This led to a higher contribution to the Basic Fuel Prices on petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin by 29.60 c\/l, 31.33 c\/l and 31.58 c\/l, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to monthly fluctuations, the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy has approved a retail margin increase of 5.0 c\/l to be effected in the retail price structures of all octane grades of petrol with effect from 6 September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This increase is necessary to accommodate the wage increases of pump attendants, cashiers and administrative staff at service stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slate levy was unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
