South Africas much-anticipated petrol price decrease for September 2024 has been confirmed by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE).
From Wednesday, September 4, the price of both grades of petrol will decrease by 92 cents per litre, while diesel will come down by between 79 cents (500ppm) and R1.05 (50ppm).
A litre of 95 Unleaded petrol will now cost you R21.40 at the coast and R22.19 in Gauteng, where the cheaper 93 Unleaded will retail at R21.79. This effectively means petrol will now be at its lowest level since February 2023.
Diesel will be reduced to prices last seen in July 2023, with the wholesale price of 50ppm now listed at R18.93 at the coast and R19.69 in the inland regions.
Those filling up a small car with around 30 litres of petrol stand to save in the region of R27.60 from Wednesday, while a 50 litre refuel in a larger vehicle will cost R46 less.
