According to the Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, there will be an expected decrease in fuel prices coming into effect this week, although it will be a relatively minimal amount.
Due to the hike in the general fuel levy from the latest budget – which sees fuel taxes going up 15 cents per litre for diesel and 16 cents per litre for petrol – the decrease this month has been offset against this change.
As a result, the official fuel prices for June will see a small cut of 5 cents per litre for 93 and 95 petrol, and a cut of 37 cents per litre for diesel.
When factoring in the fuel levy increases, this is the official change that will be seen at the pumps from midnight on Tuesday, 3 June 2025:
- 93: decrease of 5 cents per litre
- 95: decrease of 5 cents per litre
- Diesel 0.05% (wholesale): decrease of 37 cents per litre
- Diesel 0.005% (wholesale): decrease of 37 cents per litre
