Rising crude oil prices amidst escalating fears created by the conflict in Ukraine, is one of the main reasons for a jump in SA fuel prices announced by Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe on Saturday.

As from 2 March the price of petrol (both 93 and 95 ULP & LRP) will increase by R1.46/l, that of diesel (0.05% sulphur) by R1.44/l, diesel (0.005% sulphur) by R1.48/l, illuminating paraffin (wholesale) by R1.21/l, and the maximum LPGas retail price by 70 cents/kg.
