Petrol price cut likely to be trimmed by a weaker rand (Independent Online)

THE weakening rand/dollar exchange rate has wiped out chances of a reasonably substantial cut in the petrol price tomorrow, even though oil prices have ...

It was trading at R15.83 per dollar just after midday Friday, indicating a more than 7.5 percent devaluation in the local currency. The weakening rand was also a big driver behind the fuel price over-recovery reducing. Last month saw a relatively mild petrol price increase of 36 cents per litre as the price was shielded by the R1.50 per litre cut in the fuel levy, with diesel prices up by just more than R1.50 per litre instead of around R3 per litre, as the cut in the levy protected motorists from the brunt of high oil prices in March. The price was last at $106.03 per barrel at the weekend. Since March, the oil price had dropped to around $105 (R1581) per barrel (/bbl), averaging $105.6/bbl or R1 580/bbl versus March’s R1 679/bbl ($112/bbl), and so yielding a likely cut of R15c/litre in South Africa’s petrol price (94.5c/litre for diesel) from these metrics, said Bishop. At mid-April, petrol was set for a 34 cents per litre decline, and diesel prices were in line for a 67 to 71 cents per litre increase.

Here's how much you'll pay for fuel from Wednesday, 4 May (Independent Online)

South African motorists can expect a small petrol price decrease from Wednesday, but those with diesel vehicles will be hit with another huge increase.

Unless there is another intervention from government, June will see sharp increases for both petrol and diesel. At the time of writing the oil price was listed at $107.58, which does not bode well for June’s fuel prices. 50 litres of 95 ULP in a mid-sized vehicle like a Toyota Rav4 will command R1056 (coast) and R1092 (inland), a R6 saving. Keep in mind however that the retail prices, which vary from station to station, will be somewhat higher than that. Illuminated paraffin will rise by 79.6 cents a litre. After the small petrol price decrease comes into effect, motorists will pay R21.12 for a litre of 95 Unleaded at the coast and R21.84 in the inland regions, where the slightly cheaper 93 Unleaded will retail for R21.51.
