What is the current cost of petrol in South Africa? How much per liter?

Is there a good website that has this kind of info?

I'm about as far away as you are, but here's what it
is IN Kruger.

Whether it's about the same in the rest of RSA, I
dunno.

Daan

The petrol price in SA is regulated by the government, and so it is pretty much the same everywhere. It is a little more expensive in areas far from the coast, as delivery costs is taken in to account. The price is adjusted on the first Wednesday of every month.

Diesel is not regulated, and may vary from one filling station to the next.

Please note, that as everywhere else the price is rising, and these given on the previous post was those charged in May. It has gone up since then.

It's about R10.50 here at the coast if im not mistaken. I try not to look.

It is the most expensive part of our trip, and going to KNP or KTP from Cape Town needs a bit of financial decision making.

I think its R10.60 per litre here in Gauteng. Also note that the price can (and usually does) change at midnight on the 1st Tueday of the month. I may be getting old, but I can't remember the last time the price went down!

I paid R10.86 a litre last week and diesel is R11.98 here.

R10.40 per litre at the coast.

Oh My Word....this is going to cost me a fortune

Planning to drive appr. 26500km during my year and at this price Im looking at R32 000 Hope the price comes down before that

What I still dont understand about the fuel price in KNP is, if the price is regulated, why, in KNP, is there a levy of +- 10c per litre?

There is the argument of distance, but the northern districts are allowed to charge more. The filling stations at Crocodile Bridge, Berg en Dal, Pretoriuskop and Skukuza are only a few Km further than those in nearby areas outside of KNP.

I have asked this question to Sanparks and have never received an answer.

Ouch! Fuel is going to be a very expensive part of my trip.

It is not too far fetched to bargain your fuel costs at a hike of at least 25c on average per month per liter from here on in to at least the end of the first term of next year.

Fuel price for unleaded should pass R11 beginning next month.

Every cloud has a silver lining
This one being that the prices are very high in every country

True.

Just a pity that we have a company called SASOL who produces fuel in our own back yard. I don't give a crap that they still charge the same rates as the other companies importing fuel into the Country. But what irritates the threecheeses out of me is that Government holds a huge share in SASOL and a subsidy or even an ease on fuel tax would work wonders.

Except for me our current price is.........R1,20 pl for fuel and R45 per beer
