expected petrol price decrease for april 2025

The Central Energy Fund CEF brings good news to motorists as diesel and petrol show great over-recoveries, and expected price decreases for April 2025.

Petrol shows over-recoveries between 82 and 96 cents per litre and diesel with 90 cents per litre, thanks to a stronger rand and lower oil prices.

The following are mid-month projections according to BusinessTech :

  • Petrol 93: decrease of 82 cents per litre
  • Petrol 95: decrease of 96 cents per litre
  • Diesel 0.05 Wholesale: decrease of 89 cents per litre
  • Diesel 0.005 Wholesale: decrease of 90 cents per litre
  • Illuminating paraffin: decrease of 85 cents per litre

These snapshot amounts are only predictive and not the final values for petrol and diesel prices. Final prices are only announced by the Department of Petroleum and Minerals, several days before price implementation.

Other factors that could affect these prices as predicted by the CEF snapshots include levy adjustments, retail margins and tax measures for the month of April.
