Projected SA fuel price in September 2026

• Fuel prices for South African motorists are set to increase further in September 2026, as forecasted by the Central Energy Fund (CEF), and will be indicated by the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR).
• The main reason is oil prices have not declined recently, due to the US imposing new sanctions on Iran, with peace talks still without a resolution.
• The price of petrol is set to increase by 90 cents per litre for 93 ULP/LRP and R1.01 per litre for 95 ULP/LRP, with diesel expected to rise by R2.88 and R3.09 per litre for 0.05% and 0.005% sulphur, respectively.
