R1,000.80 diesel price pain in South Africa

We calculated how much more motorists driving diesel cars were paying to fill their tanks in September 2026 than they were at the start of the year.

And eighty cents? That's oddly specific for "filling a tank".

Next there will be a comparison to how much they were paying on the 13th of June last year. Yes, it is bloody expensive, we are grown ups and we know.

think about truckers, who would love to only be paying R1k more. Hurts a lot more if you have extended range tanks, and a behind cab ultra long range tank, and you need to fill up with 2000l of diesel per trip.
