JOHANNESBURG - It looks like South African motorists could be in for a fuel price breather in May, following months of hefty increases. But that’s assuming current trends persist.
According to the Automobile Association, mid-month data from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy is pointing towards a 32 cents-per-litre decrease in the price of diesel.
However, petrol hasn’t fared as well, with the current average for the month pointing to a six cent increase. However, the petrol equation has turned positive in the last few days as the rand gained momentum, and if current trends continue then a small petrol price decrease could be possible. That’s assuming that there are no nasty oil price shocks on the horizon.
