What Drove the June 2025 Change
South African pump prices are set from the previous month’s market: the average Brent crude price in US dollars, the average rand/dollar exchange rate, and the gap that opens between the Basic Fuel Price and what you are actually charged.
Brent figures are daily closes from public market feeds, averaged over May 2025. The DMPR uses its own official daily rates, so treat this as the direction of travel rather than the exact input to the calculation.
For the current picture see the live Brent crude price in rand, or the next fuel price change page.

When does the fuel price change in South Africa?
On the first Wednesday of every month, at midnight. The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources sets the new levels from the previous month’s average Brent crude price, the average rand/dollar exchange rate and the resulting under- or over-recovery. The next adjustment is Wednesday, 5 August 2026.
Why is fuel more expensive inland than at the coast?
Fuel is refined or landed at the coast and moved inland by pipeline and road. The DMPR adds that transport and storage cost to the Basic Fuel Price by zone, which is why Gauteng pays roughly 70–90 cents a litre more than Cape Town or Durban.
