JOHANNESBURG - Motorists can expect another slight relief at the pumps in October.
The Automobile Association (AA) is predicting savings for South Africans when fuel prices are adjusted next week.
It said that current unaudited data from the Central Energy Fund indicated significant reductions to fuel prices across the board.
Ninety-five unleaded petrol is expected to be lower by around R1.13 cents a litre, while 93 is set for a drop of around R1.05 cents a litre.
Diesel is expected to drop by between R1.10 and R1.12 cents a litre.
The association's Eleanor Mavimbela said that this would be the fifth consecutive decrease this year.
"The expected decreases are welcome and will provide additional relief to motorists. If these decreases are realised, the cumulative impact of this fifth decrease is substantial. Considering, for instance, ULP93 inland, the past four decreases amounted to around R3.36/l, which brought about a saving of around R168 on a 50l petrol tank."
