Although it is almost a ‘tradition’ that fuel prices climb again in January, motorists can expect a reasonably sharp drop in December.
According to the Automobile Association’s (AA) current preliminary data, the petrol price will drop by R1,54, diesel by 92c and illuminating paraffin by 85c per litre.

In a statement the AA said “… After months of sustained pressure on the fuel price, fuel users will receive a substantial breather at the end of November going into December if the current fuel price trends continue.
“The main driver of lower prices has been an accelerating decline in international oil prices, which have trended downwards since the beginning of this month”.
This prognosis is not carved in stone though and could change later.
