Massive petrol and diesel price hike from Wednesday, 1 March (Citizen)

The DMRE said there were several international and local factors that contributed to the petrol price increase.

“The negative slate balance on petrol and diesel amounted to R2,7 billion at the end of January 2023. “Petrol prices are increasing at a higher rate than diesel because of lower inventory levels globally and closures of refineries in some countries for seasonal maintenance. The main contributing factors is the weekly report that showed that crude oil inventories continued to rise for the ninth month in a row.” A slate levy increase of 4,38 c/l (from 17.54 c/l to 21,92c/l) will be implemented into the price structures of petrol and diesel, in line with the Self-Adjusting Slate Levy Mechanism rules effective from the 1st of March 2023,” the department said.

UAE set to announce petrol prices for March soon (ZAWYA)

According to globalpetrolprices.com, the UAE petrol price is cheaper by Dh1.84 litre when compared to global average rates. Petrol prices are revised every month ever since the government announced deregulations of retail fuel prices in August 2015 to be aligned with the global rates. In the UAE, only value-added tax (VAT) is levied on retail fuel prices. As of February 20, the average fuel price was Dh2.93 in the UAE as compared to the global average of Dh4.77. Prices were on the lower side in the last four months of 2022 due to fear of the global economy slipping into recession. Oil prices peaked in the UAE in July 2022 when all three variants were priced above Dh4 per litre due to a major increase in global rates after the Russia-Ukraine crisis, fearing disruption of oil supply. UAE retail fuel prices in 2022-23 (dirhams per litre) Local fuel prices remain substantially cheaper when compared to global rates even after the deregulation because most of the countries levy heavy taxes on the consumption of fuel. The UAE’s Fuel Price Committee is likely to announce retail petrol prices for the month of March 2023 soon to be at par with the global rates. The revised prices are usually announced on the last day of the month, but there were instances when they were released on the second last day of the month. On Monday, oil prices dropped slightly in Asia with Brent trading at $82.88 a barrel, down 0.34 per cent, while WTI fell 0.29 per cent to $76.1 per barrel. The Committee increased retail fuel prices by more than 10 per cent month-on-month for February 2022, pricing Super 98, Special 95 and E-Plus at Dh3.05, Dh2.93 and Dh2.86 per litre, respectively.

The cumulative effect on personal finances will be a further reduction of disposable incomes, which will be exacerbated by increases to goods and services that must recoup the higher fuel input costs." Because we also have to remember that on April 1, 2023, the 18.65% Eskom increase also comes into effect," said Botha. Ensuring vehicles are well maintained and in good mechanical condition, carefully planning routes, and avoiding heavy traffic, if possible, are some ways in which motorists can ensure better fuel consumption," said the association. In terms of the diesel price, the sole contributor to the expected increases is the weaker exchange rate," said AA. "The increases to the price of petrol are big and will have a negative impact on household budgets. So it's definitely not a good thing, and South Africans are really going to have to start cutting down and start budgeting.
