Consumers shared their concerns about the steep increase in petrol prices

Following September’s brutal fuel price hikes, petrol and diesel are set for more steep increases in October 2023, the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (DMRE) has announced.

A litre of 95 Unleaded will now set you back R24.96 at the coast and R25.68 in the inland regions, while 93 Unleaded will rise to R25.22.
The even steeper diesel increases will see the wholesale price of 50ppm rising to R24.51 at the coast and R25.22 inland, while 500ppm will cost R24.29 and R25.01 respectively. Keep in mind that this excludes the retail margin, which is usually around R2 depending on the outlet, as diesel is unregulated.
