Here is the official petrol price for July

The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has published the official fuel price adjustments that will take effect on Wednesday, 2 July 2025.

June saw extreme volatility in the oil price because of Israel and the United States’ attacks on Iran, while the rand remained surprisingly resilient in the face of the resultant market turbulence.

Wide fluctuations in the oil price saw local fuel price recoveries swing from a small over-recovery to a sizeable under-recovery, leading to increases at the pumps.

As a result, fuel prices will see a hike of between 52 and 55 cents per litre for 95 and 93 petrol, respectively, and an increase of between 82 and 84 cents per litre for diesel.

The table below outlines the changes:

Local fuel prices are largely driven by international product prices, which are determined by global oil prices and the rand/dollar exchange.

The average international product prices for Petrol, Diesel and Illuminating Paraffin increased during the period under review.

The Rand appreciated against the US Dollar during the period under review, on average, when compared to the previous period.

The average Rand/US Dollar exchange rate for the period 30 May 2025 to 26 June 2025 was 17.8443 compared to 18.1146 during the previous period.

This led to a lower contribution to the Basic Fuel Prices on petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin by 15.71 c/l, 16.35 c/l, 16.05 c/l, respectively.

In line with the provisions of the Self-Adjusting Slate Levy Mechanism, the Slate Levy on petrol and diesel will remain at 0.00 c/l with effect from 2 July 2025.

An important note for LPGas is that prices in the Western Cape will be higher in July.

This is in line with a ministerial approval of a 14% increase in Supply Cost Recovery that will be implemented on LPGas that is imported through the Port of Saldanha Bay (Western Cape) as an interim measure, effective for a period of 24 months.

Therefore the Maximum Retail Price of LPGas in Western Cape will be increase by 190.00 c/kg with effect from 2 July 2025.

This is how the price changes will reflect at the pumps (Diesel prices reflect wholesale, pump prices will differ):
