Johannesburg - The retail price of petrol will decrease by between 25c and 29c a litre on Wednesday October 1, the department of Minerals and Energy announced in a delayed release on Friday.
This follows a decrease of between 69c and 78c a litre at the beginning of this month.

91 octane petrol will decrease by 29c, 93 octane by 27c and 95 octane by 25c.

Diesel prices will also decrease, with 0.05% sulphur decreasing by 56c and 0.005% by 55c.

Wholesale paraffin decreases by 65c and illuminating paraffin by 87c.

The minister of minerals and energy has approved an increase of 2.6c per litre on the retail margin of petrol with effect from October 1.

Petrol in Gauteng now costs 941c a litre from 966c before and it is now 917c at the coast from 942c before.

During the period under review, the average international product prices of petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin decreased.

The average rand/US dollar exchange rate weakened when compared to the previous period. The average rand/US dollar exchange rate for the period August 29 2008 to September 25 2008 was R8.0182 compared to R7.6845 during the previous period.

25c for 95 unleaded. Not too bad.

All I can really say at this point is, anything is better than nothing.

yeah, every cent counts that it comes down by. It would have come down much more but the Rand has been sticking it's nose above the R8 a dollar mark and the oil price has increased since the amazing $90 - $92 recently.

My sooped up escort only gets about 200-250k's on 45L of 95+octane booster. So next month I should be able to drive about 100meters more, lol

 

[thedutchman]

thats really bad fuel economy. How quick do you drive to get that?

 

[Shake&Bake]

Well I'll take the 25c and a plane ticket out of here please

Well if I extrapolate this trend we will be getting free fuel in about 3 years' time.

i like your science. I nominate you for Minister of Minerals and Energy.

the oil price drops by like half and we get a measly 25c off. Let it go up and we sure to feel the full extent to which it did go up

adamr : Its unfortunately the part of living in this country, we have to suffer through incredibly "sticky" prices... irritates me no end.
