The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has announced an adjustment of fuel prices based on current local and international factors with effect from May 7.

Both grades of petrol will decrease by 22c/l, while diesel will decrease by 41c/l and 42c/l.

Illuminating paraffin at retail level will decrease by 31c/l.

The price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will, however, increase by 46c/kg.

Spokesperson for the department Robert Maake notes that the lower oil price and the weaker rand against the dollar contributed to the decrease in fuel prices.

Higher shipping costs have, however, pushed the LPG price higher.
