SA motorists face major fuel price increases from tomorrow

VAAL TRIANGLE - Motorists will feel more pain at the pumps from midnight, as the price of 93-octane petrol will go up by 55-cents a litre, and 95-octane by 52-cents. Diesel prices will rise by up to 84-cents, while illuminating paraffin increases by 89-cents a litre. Robert Maake of the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources blames the increases on rising global oil prices due to Middle East tensions.
