04 / How grid prices work
Why fuel costs more inland.
How is the fuel price set in South Africa?
Every month the department sets a basic fuel price from international product prices, the rand and freight. A zone differential is then added to cover transporting fuel from the coast to each part of the country.
Which fuel price zone am I in?
South Africa is divided into more than 50 pricing zones by magisterial district. The further a zone is from coastal supply, the higher its differential. Gauteng is zone 9C; the main coastal cities are zone 1A.
Is the diesel price regulated?
Petrol prices are regulated at the pump. Diesel and illuminating paraffin are published as wholesale list prices: what a buyer actually pays depends on volume, delivery and contract terms.
When do fuel prices change in South Africa?
Prices change on the first Wednesday of each month. The Central Energy Fund publishes daily over- and under-recovery data during the review period, which is what our outlook is based on.
