The price of both 93 and 95 unleaded and lead replacement petrol will increase by 4 cents per litre on Wednesday.

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy announced that diesel prices will decrease by 15.22 cents per litre for 0.05% sulphur and 14.22 cents per litre for 0.005% sulphur.

Paraffin will drop by 15 cents per litre.

Calculations by the Central Energy Fund last week showed that at that current levels of the rand-dollar exchange rate and oil prices – both diesel and fuel prices were expected to be cut in September.

But, the department says that the implementation of a slate levy, contributed to September’s petrol-price increases.
