Here's What You're Likely To Pay For Petrol And Diesel From Wednesday, March 5

Following a steep increase in February, petrol prices are set for minimal movement in March, while diesel customers can look forward to a modest decrease.

Month-end data from the Central Energy Fund CEF is pointing to a seven cent decrease for 95 Unleaded petrol and seven cent increase for 93 Unleaded, while diesel is looking set for decreases of between 17 cents 500ppm and 22 cents 50ppm.

This would see the price of 95 Unleaded receding to around R21.55 at the coast and R22.34 inland, where 93 ULP will cost around R22.23. The wholesale price of 50ppm diesel is likely to land around R19.47 at the coast and R20.23 inland.

Keep in mind that the above predictions are based on unaudited data. The official fuel price adjustments, which will be announced by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy early this week, could incorporate other factors such as the Slate Levy.

The price adjustments will take effect on Wednesday, March 5.
