The Citizen reports that motorists will pay less for petrol and diesel at the pumps from Wednesday with the cuts no doubt to be welcomed by cash-strapped motorists ahead of the festive season.

The price of diesel (0.05% sulphur) will decrease by 21 cents per litre, while diesel with 0.005% sulphur will go down by 19 cents per litre. Illuminating paraffin will cost 1 cent less per litre, while the price of LP gas will decrease by 61 cents/kg. When the fuel price adjustments kicks in, a litre of 93 unleaded petrol will cost R20.97 per litre, while 95 unleaded will be R21.12 a litre. The wholesale price of 0.05% (500 PPM) diesel will decrease to R19.13 per litre and 0.005% (50 PPM) will cost R9.20 a litre.
