Fuel prices dropped significantly on July 1, but remain somewhat higher than earlier in 2026.
South African motorists can breathe a little easier this month after significant fuel price decreases came into effect on Wednesday, July 1.
Petrol prices came down by R1.96 for 95 Unleaded and R2.01 for 93 Unleaded, while diesel costs fell by between R3.14 for 500ppm diesel and R3.58 in the case of 50ppm.
Granted, petrol still costs R5.76 more than it did in March, while diesel commands a R6.21 premium, but it is a step in the right direction and will alleviate some of the pressure on motorists’ monthly budgets.
But how much will you save on every refuel?
