The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has published the official fuel price adjustments that will take effect on Wednesday, 1 January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

December saw both the global price of petrol increase and the rand come in weaker relative to November, leading to an under-recovery in prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has translated to a price hike at the pumps, marking the third consecutive month of increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices will be going up by 12 and 19 cents per litre for both 93 and 95 petrol<\/strong>, respectively, and between 7.50 and 10.50 cents per litre for diesel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The table below outlines the changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel<\/strong><\/td>Change<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Petrol 93<\/td>increase<\/mark><\/mark><\/mark> of 19.00 cents per litre<\/td><\/tr>
Petrol 95<\/td>increase<\/mark><\/mark> of 12.00 cents per litre<\/td><\/tr>
Diesel 0.05% (wholesale)<\/td>increase<\/mark> of 7.50 cents per litre<\/td><\/tr>
Diesel 0.005% (wholesale)<\/td>increase<\/mark><\/mark> of 10.50 cents per litre<\/td><\/tr>
Illuminating Paraffin (Wholesale)<\/td>decrease<\/mark> of 9.50 cents per litre<\/td><\/tr>
LPGAS<\/td>increase<\/mark><\/mark> <\/mark>of 13.0 cents per kg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As per the provisions of the Self-Adjusting Slate Levy Mechanism, the Slate Levy on petrol and diesel will remain at 0.00 c\/l with effect from 01 January 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Central Energy Fund (CEF) said that average international product prices for Petrol increased, whilst Diesel and Illuminating Paraffin decreased during the period under review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, the rand depreciated against the US Dollar during the period under review, when compared to the previous period, with the average ZAR\/USD exchange rate for the period being 18.1120 compared to 17.9256 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 10.58 c\/l, 11.11 c\/l, and 10.90 c\/l respectively,” said the CEF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

This is how the price changes will reflect at the pumps (Diesel prices reflect wholesale, pump prices will differ):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
