Diesel, meanwhile, has increased by 8.7%, despite consecutive cuts in the first half of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Blue-Modern-Line-Chart-Graph-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-716198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Blue-Modern-Line-Chart-Graph-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Blue-Modern-Line-Chart-Graph-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Blue-Modern-Line-Chart-Graph-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, the increases for September are mainly attributable to rising international petroleum prices, while the rand depreciated against the US Dollar during the period under review, on average, compared to the previous period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-businesstech wp-block-embed-businesstech\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"lj1KIyMP8B\"><a href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/energy\/715300\/here-is-the-official-petrol-price-for-september-4\/\">Here is the official petrol price for September<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Here is the official petrol price for September&#8221; &#8212; BusinessTech\" src=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/energy\/715300\/here-is-the-official-petrol-price-for-september-4\/embed\/#?secret=7qF52sLIgV#?secret=lj1KIyMP8B\" data-secret=\"lj1KIyMP8B\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As of Wednesday, inland 95 octane petrol costs R24.54\/l, while at the coast, it costs R23.82\/l, factoring in the slate levy and other costs. Diesel will be hiked by between R2.76 and R2.84 a litre \u2013 marking the steepest increase in petrol since July last year and a new record diesel rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, however, is that despite the upward pressure on fuel prices, the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy approved a retail margin increase of 5.0 c\/l to be effected in the retail price structures of all octane grades of petrol, which he said is necessary to accommodate the wage increases of pump attendants, cashiers and administrative staff at service stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pain of these increases will not only be felt at the pumps but at the grocery stores as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AA said that the increases \u2013 especially diesel \u2013 will have negative consequences for consumers as higher input costs will be recovered through higher prices at the till.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMotorists will feel the pinch in higher prices at the pumps, but consumers across the board can expect higher prices for goods and services,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below shows the latest pump prices as of September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><div
