Petrol price could bring relief in January

The prospects for lower fuel prices in January currently look “fairly good”, independent agricultural economist Fanie Brink said. The Department of Energy on Thursday released its adjustment on fuel prices for the new year, which show that the price of petrol 93 (ULP & LRP) in Gauteng could possibly be reduced by 41.5 c/ℓ on January 4 to R12.85, while the price of diesel with a 0.005% sulphur content could drop by 32.2c/ℓ to R11.02.
