The decrease in international petroleum prices is driving the decreases but they are being offset by a weaker Rand/US dollar exchange rate.
Motorists will see a R1.32 per litre dip in the price of petrol, effective from Tuesday at midnight. Diesel is set to cost between 88 and 91 cents per litre cheaper.
