Frequently asked

Why do prices change on the first Wednesday of the month?

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy reviews the regulated price monthly based on international product prices and the rand/dollar exchange rate over the previous month, publishing new prices that take effect on the first Wednesday.

What's the difference between inland and coastal pricing?

Inland prices (Gauteng, Free State and similar) run higher than coastal ones because they include the cost of transporting fuel from coastal refineries and depots further inland.

Does the price include tax?

Yes — the pump price bundles in the General Fuel Levy and the Road Accident Fund levy on top of the basic fuel price, along with retail and transport margins.
