Both grades of petrol are set to drop, with 93 octane petrol decreasing by 4 cents per litre while 95 octane petrol drops by 1 cent a litre. 


LP Gas will also see a slight drop of seven cents per kilogram.


“The reason for the adjustments is due to the prices of petroleum product increasing under the period of review, the rand appreciating on average  against the US Dollar and  the Slate Levy decreasing by 2.2 cents a litre,” says the department’s Robert Maake


However, it’s not all good news as diesel is set to increase by 23 cents per litre.
