Diesel is predicted to decrease by 18 cents while illuminating paraffin looks set for a 21 cents decrease.

"The reason for this is that the rand has remained relatively flat, as it did in October going into November, and the oil prices have shown the same flatness. Because of this there will be increases in certain grades of fuel, unfortunately, those increases are the form of petrol.
"The good is that diesel is not expected to increase going into December and this is good for consumers in that the input costs in the manufacturing and agricultural sector won't increase either.”
