petrolpumpBL Premium reports that following significant petrol and diesel price decreases in January, motorists face a mixed bag next month, with most types of fuel to cost more.

Based on data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF) on 23 January, the prices of both 93 and 95 petrol will rise by 25c/l with high-sulphur (0.05%) diesel to rise 6c/l on 1 February. Illuminating paraffin is expected to rise 8c/l. Motorists buying low-sulphur (0.005%) diesel are the only ones to get some relief with the price expected to drop 6c/l. The current inland price of 93 unleaded petrol is R21.10, with 95 unleaded priced at R21.40. Inland diesel prices are R21.23 for high sulphur and R21.42 for low sulphur.
