Consumers will get some relief at the pumps later this week after the Central Energy Fund announced a drop of between 68 and 71 cent a litre in the price of petrol.
The price of 93 octane petrol will decrease by 71 cents a litre while 95 octane will cost 68 cents less. The price of diesel will drop by between 67 and 69 cents a litre.
This follows last month huge increase that pushed the petrol price to over R20 a litre for the first time in history.

Godongwana told Parliament during a question and answer session that government was considering reforming the way the fuel price is calculated.
AA Spokesperson, Layton Beard says this is a step in the right direction.
