South African motorists are set for lower fuel prices on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, with decreases signaled by Central Energy Fund data after four weeks of over recoveries. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy will confirm adjustments next week. Early numbers point to cuts of 61 cents a liter for petrol 93, 57 cents for petrol 95, 33 cents for diesel 0.05 percent, 31 cents for diesel 0.005 percent, and 13 cents for illuminating paraffin. Industry estimates suggest inland 95 unleaded could reach about R21.06 a liter, with coastal prices near R20.41, and diesel wholesale near R18.50 inland.

The trend reflects softer Brent crude, which averaged about $74 a barrel in October compared with $80 in September, and a stronger rand trading below R17.50 to the dollar, which trimmed import costs by a few cents a liter. Cheaper petrol and diesel could ease household budgets and help moderate inflation, which measured 3.8 percent in September 2025. Analysts welcomed relief while warning that geopolitical tension or election uncertainty could lift oil and reverse gains.
