Good news for diesel owners, not so much for petrol-car drivers.

Another petrol price increase awaits motorists next month, but the price of diesel is expected to drop.
According to mid-month data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF), the prices of both 93 and 95 unleaded petrol are expected to rise 26c/l on April 5. The price of high-sulphur 0.05% diesel is expected to decrease 20c/l, with a 22c reduction for low-sulphur 0.005% diesel. The price of illuminating paraffin should decrease by 68c.
This is preliminary data based on the current oil price and rand-dollar exchange rate, but could change before month end, said the CEF.
The year started on a good note with price cuts of more than R2/l for petrol and diesel in January. However, in February and March motorists were hit with hikes.
