South Africans are set to pay more for their holiday travels with the latest fuel price adjustment announced today.
Following across-the-board decreases last month, motorists are being hit with hikes to the prices of all petrol and diesel grades in December.
From midnight on Tuesday the retail price of both grades of petrol (93 and 95) will increase by 29c/l, while the wholesale price of 0.05% sulphur diesel be hiked 65c and 0.005% sulphur diesel will cost 82c more. Illuminating paraffin goes up by 74c.
The department of mineral and petroleum resources attributed the increases to higher international fuel prices during the period under review, and the hikes were tempered by the rand slightly appreciating against the dollar.
The price adjustments include a 3.6c/l increase in the annual margin adjustment on petrol and 5.5c/l on diesel and illuminating paraffin.
