DURBAN â A slight drop in the petrol price is expected to bring much-needed relief to motorists' pockets. A litre of 95 and 93 octane petrol is expected to cost around 9 cents less while the price of diesel will drop by 30c and paraffin 23c.
The price decrease is due to the slight appreciation of the rand, the Mineral Resources and Energy Department says.
Mancosa senior finance and economics lecturer Meshel Muzuva warned that consumers must be aware that there would always be the instability of local and global economies which could affect fuel prices.
