Read today’s briefingBased on market data from Thursday 22 October, petrol prices are expected to drop by 8 cents per litre from Monday 26 October, while diesel is expected to rise by 1 cent per litre. These figures are projections and the final price at pumps depends on government adjustments to the fuel tax (ISP) and individual service station policies.
Starting Monday, 19 October, diesel prices are expected to rise by 4.5 cents per liter, while petrol prices should decrease by 1.5 cents per liter. These adjustments are based on average market rates, though final prices at the pump will vary by service station.
Estimates from the fuel sector association Anarec and the automobile club ACP indicate a slight decrease in fuel prices starting this coming Monday, October 5th. The final price adjustment depends on the closing price of crude oil this Friday, October 2nd, and the specific ISP (fuel tax) rates.
