Diesel is set to drop by 62 cents a litre in July according to the AA.

Fuel prices are set for across-the-board drops at month end. This is according to the Automobile Association (AA), commenting on unaudited month-end fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund (CEF).

“Apart from a brief reversal caused by the Public Protector’s controversial comments on the role of the Reserve Bank, the Rand remained firm over the past month,” the AA comments. “At the same time, international petroleum prices maintained their downward trajectory. This adds up to a pleasing drop in the fuel price which will be a patch of good news for many in the current economic conditions.”

According to the AA, diesel is set to drop by 62 cents a litre, petrol by up to 69 cents a litre and illumination paraffin by 58 cents.


“As ever, even medium-term predictions of the fuel price remain difficult in the current environment of political instability and weak economic conditions. We advise all fuel users to create space in their budgets for price increases if the picture should deteriorate further,” the AA concludes.
