Frequently Asked Questions
When is the next petrol price increase?
The next DMPR adjustment is on Wednesday, 1 July 2026, in 8 days from today.
Will the petrol price go up or down?
Direction depends on the cumulative under-recovery (gap between Basic Fuel Price and current pump price) over the current month. If Brent has risen or the rand has weakened, expect an increase; the reverse implies a decrease.
Where can I see the official DMPR fuel-price announcement?
The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources publishes the official media statement at dmpr.gov.za on the Tuesday afternoon before the first Wednesday of each month.
How is the under-recovery calculated?
Daily, by comparing the international refined-product price (converted to ZAR) against the local pump price. A negative cumulative figure means SA petrol is being sold below its import-parity cost — that gap gets closed at the next monthly adjustment.
