Road Freight Association Welcomes Marginal Decrease In Fuel Prices

The Road Freight Association has welcomed the marginal decrease in fuel prices this month, noting that it follows months of substantial increases.

The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has confirmed that both grades of petrol will decrease by seven cents a litre at midnight tonight.

Diesel users will pay 17.5 cents and 23.5 cents less per litre, depending on the grade.

At the same time, households will pay eight cents less for paraffin and LP gas will decrease by two cents per kilogramme.

The associations CEO Gavin Kelly says, But obviously, any decrease in fuel prices - whether its petrol or diesel, which is the main fuel used in the transport industry or illuminating paraffin or benzene depending on what types of equipment is used - is always a good note to have. It reduces pressure on prices and on the transportation of prices.
