South Africa's petrol price reached a record high of US$1.82 per litre on Wednesday, October 7, according to the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources. The price increase came from a jump in world oil prices driven by US-Iran tensions, rather than the weakening rand. The new petrol price for 95 unleaded in Gauteng is R30.25 (US$1.82) per litre, while 93 unleaded will cost R29.88 (US$1.79).
Coastal areas see a slightly lower price of R29.38 (US$1.76) for 95 unleaded. Diesel prices increased by R2.84 (US$0.17) a litre, and cleaner diesel by R3.24 (US$0.19). The department will publish the full price list on Tuesday, October 6.
