Petrol price coming down again

Jun 29, 2012 | Sapa, Reuters | 27 comments

South Africa’s petrol price at the pumps will fall by about 7,3% a litre next Wednesday, mainly due to lower international oil prices, the energy department said on Friday.

This is a drop of 89 cents for 93 octane petrol.

A litre of 95 octane petrol will cost 85 cents less.

The 95 octaine petrol will therefore be sold at R10,82 a litre in Gauteng and at R10,47 at the coast.

A litre of 93 octane petrol will cost R10,1097 in Gauteng and R9,8627 at the coast.

The wholesale diesel price will decrease by 5,9% to 10,11 rand.

The wholesale price of illuminating paraffin will drop by 58 cents a litre.

The single maximum national retail price for illuminating paraffin will decrease by 77 cents a litre to reach R9,71, and the maximum retail price for LP Gas by R1,13 a kilogram to reach R19,12 at the coast and R20,94 in Gauteng.

The slate levy on petrol and diesel will decrease from 10.96 cents a litre to 4.38 cents a litre.

As I have mentioned numerous times before and some of the bloggers as well,

The decrease in petrol price is meaningless when bread and all other basic goods which always jump when it increases, fail to go down when the fuel prices goes down as well.

We are being robbed here. Its going to go down by 90 cents or what ever. but come a month latter it will go up again by 2 rands, and everything else will go up as well
