The petrol price is to increase by 86 cents per litre for 93 octane and 88 cents per litre for 95 octane from Wednesday‚ the Department of Energy says.

It said the strengthening of the rand against the US dollar during the review period had cushioned the price increases by close to 10 cents a litre.

The price of diesel will increase by between 95.7 cents and 97.7 cents a litre‚ while paraffin will cost 76cents a litre more and liquid petroleum gas 110 cents per kilogram more.
