The Automobile Association of South Africa says the stage is set for large reductions in the fuel price at the end of the month.
The AA says Rand weakness against the US dollar has paled into insignificance against the fuel price bonanza caused by the massive retreat of international petroleum prices as a result of the Coronavirus.
Spokesperson, Layton Beard, says the current data shows petrol down by up to R1.11 a litre, diesel by R1.10 and illuminating paraffin by R1.18.
However, he says this must be weighed against the 25 cent increases to the fuel levies which come into effect in April.
Taking this into account the AA's predicting an effective decrease of up to 86 cents a litre for petrol and up to 85 cents a litre for diesel.
