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.

FUEL	PRICE CHANGE
Petrol 93	decrease of 5 cents
Petrol 95	decrease of 25 cents
Diesel 0.05%	decrease of 37 cents
Diesel 0.005%	decrease of 37 cents
Illuminating Paraffin	decrease of 56 cents

FUEL PRICE IN SOUTH AFRICA IMPACTED BY TWO MAIN FACTORS:

1. The international price of petroleum products, driven mainly by oil prices

2. The rand/dollar exchange rate used in the purchase of these products

Oil price

At the time of publishing the brent crude oil price is $65.75 a barrel.

Exchange rate

At the time of publishing the rand/dollar exchange rate is R17.79/$.

The next price changes for both petrol and diesel will be confirmed early next month with the new prices taking effect at midnight on Tuesday, 1 July 2025.

Go easy on the accelerator until then, Mzansi.
