Buckle up because the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) has finally published October’s official petrol price adjustments – offering small fuel price relief to most of South Africa’s motorists from tomorrow, 1 October. Diesel drivers will be especially glad of the price decrease, following a major price decrease earlier this month. Diesel price wins this OctoberCertain motorists who rely on petrol won’t be so lucky come October. Those who stick with 93 Petrol will be glad of the admittedly minor price decrease tomorrow, while those who purchase the higher-grade 95 Petrol will be forced to contend with a small increase. The average Rand/US Dollar exchange rate over the previous month, as well as the average price of oil products internationally, are mostly responsible for the DMRE’s decision to adjust fuel prices every month.
