The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has announced the official fuel price adjustments, which will take effect on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

Oil prices fell in March, largely driven by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and ongoing trade tensions. However, by the end of the month, prices edged back up to around $71 per barrel from a high of around $75 per barrel. Despite the market volatility, the rand remained resilient.

This combination led to a significant drop in fuel prices, although the effect was partly counterbalanced by an increase in taxes.

Petrol 95: Decrease of 72 cents per litre to 21.62
Diesel 0.05% (wholesale): Decrease of 84 cents per litre to R19.32
Diesel 0.005% (wholesale): Decrease of 84 cents per litre to R19.37
Illuminating Paraffin (Wholesale): Decrease of 82 cents per litre to R13.36
LPGas: Decrease of 79 cents per kg to R37.77

The Fuel Levy and Road Accident Fund (RAF) Levy will remain unchanged at R3.96 per litre for petrol and R3.84 per litre for diesel. The RAF Levy will stay at R2.18 per litre for both petrol and diesel.

The Carbon Fuel Levy will increase by 3 cents per litre, raising the levy to R0.14 per litre for petrol and R0.17 per litre for diesel.

As a result, the total fuel levies will increase to R3.99 per litre for petrol and R3.87 per litre for diesel starting on April 2, 2025.
