South African petrol prices drop by around R1/litre in July, potentially benefiting motorists and consumers, with diesel and illuminating paraffin prices also decreasing.

Unaudited data from South Africa's Central Energy Fund indicates a significant drop in petrol prices for July, potentially bringing relief to motorists and consumers. The Automobile Association says ULP93 and ULP95 are expected to decrease by around R1/litre, while diesel and illuminating paraffin prices are likely to drop by around 30c/litre and 25c/litre respectively. This will be the first time this year that prices have fallen in two consecutive months, benefiting those with vehicles and consumers with reduced input costs.
