The official fuel price adjustments for April 2022 have been published.
These fuel price adjustments take into account the emergency interventions announced by the National Treasury where the General Fuel Levy will be reduced by R1.50 until 31 May 2022.
The changes for April are as follows:
- Petrol 95: increase of R0.36 per litre;
- Petrol 93: increase of R0.28 per litre;
- Diesel 0.05%: increase of R1.52 per litre;
- Diesel 0.005%: increase of R1.69 per litre;
- Illuminating Paraffin: increase R2.66 per litre.
Finance minister Enoch Godongwana said that a broad number of interventions will also be considered once the two-month interventions lapse at the end of May. This includes a full review of the basic fuel price, which was previously mooted by the minister.
This is how the price changes are expected to reflect at the pumps:
| Fuel (Inland) | March official | April official |
| 95 Petrol | R21.60 | R21.96 |
| 93 Petrol | R21.35 | R21.63 |
| 0.05% diesel (wholesale) | R19.49 | R21.01 |
| 0.005% diesel (wholesale) | R19.55 | R21.24 |
| Illuminating Paraffin | R13.19 | R15.84 |
