How Fuel Prices Are Set in South Africa

Common Questions About South Africa Fuel Prices
How often are fuel prices updated in South Africa?
South African petrol prices are regulated and adjusted on the first Wednesday of each month. The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources publishes official fuel price updates and supporting breakdown documents.

This page uses the common South African grades tracked in the source data: Petrol 95, Petrol 93, Diesel 0.05%, and Diesel 0.005%.
Why are diesel prices shown separately?
South Africa publishes different diesel grades and price components, and commercial fleets often need the low-sulphur grades for route costing.

Yes. Tolls are estimated on a corridor basis using SANRAL tariff patterns and route length. Actual route charges depend on the plazas crossed and vehicle class.
