R70 petrol price relief for South Africa | SA News

14 January 2026 by Guest

South Africans are paying up to R70.40 less to fill up their tanks than they were three months ago.

The new year got off to a great start with a welcome reduction in the price of both petrol and diesel.

Petrol prices dropped by between 62c and 66c per litre, while diesel saw an even larger drop of between 137c and 150c per litre.

As a result, the country is now enjoying its lowest petrol price in almost four years.
