Cape Town – South Africans will see only slight fuel price changes from Wednesday, October 1.
According to unaudited Central Energy Fund data, 95 Unleaded petrol could rise by three cents, while 93 Unleaded may drop by five cents — possibly averaging to a one cent decrease.
Diesel is set to fall by 10 cents (500ppm) and seven cents (50ppm), with paraffin also expected to drop by 10 cents.
At current projections, 95 Unleaded would cost R20.79 at the coast and R21.58 in Gauteng, while 93 Unleaded may fall to R21.42. Wholesale 50ppm diesel could drop to R18.64 at the coast and R19.40 inland.
The adjustments, to be confirmed early this week, are supported by a stronger rand — which reached R17.30/$ — offsetting higher global oil prices. Fuel costs have remained relatively stable in 2025, with current prices close to January levels.
This marks the second consecutive month of moderate adjustments after September’s small petrol and larger diesel reductions.
