PUMP SQUEEZE: SA motorists can’t escape the petrol price pain in September

PUMP SQUEEZE: SA motorists can’t escape the petrol price pain in September

South African motorists are experiencing a cost increase in petrol and diesel prices in September. The price of petrol has risen by 134.00 cents per litre, and diesel has increased by 293.90 cents per litre. The increase in prices cannot be avoided at this time, as the South African rand has strengthened against the dollar, which usually leads to lower fuel prices. However, the global refined fuel price hikes have been too aggressive for the stronger rand to fully offset.
