REMINDER: Here's how much you'll pay for petrol at the pumps from TODAY
The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has confirmed the official fuel price adjustments for June 2025. May saw volatility in the oil price and the strengthening of the rand against the dollar relative to April. This resulted in a slight over-recovery in fuel prices. However, a hike in the general fuel levy announced at Budget 3.0, undercut this by around 15 cents per litre . The net effect is that this translated to a small reduction in petrol prices in June – and a slightly bigger one for diesel. Petrol will be cut by 5 cents per litre for 93 and 95, and there will be a decrease of 37 cents per litre for diesel from Wednesday, 4 June .
