Breaking news: Your full tank won’t cost you as much as it did a month ago! In the past few months, filling stations have left most South Africans feeling empty! They truly lived up to their colloquial name (garages) in encouraging us to park our cars and walk instead. So, it is no surprise that most South Africans are screaming ‘Shell yeah’ at the suggestion of a drastic petrol price cut.

Petrol price decrease revs up our Engens.

South Africans are on #TotalEnergies mode with the news of a massive drop in the cost of every litre of petrol.

The Central Energy Fund projected that the cost of 95 unleaded petrol could dip by R2,28 per litre. In comparison, 93 petrol could drop to around R2,12 per litre. Diesel and illuminating paraffin didn’t lag too far behind with projected dips of almost a rand.
