# Motorists will pay less for petrol but more for diesel from Wednesday as the August fuel price adjustments take effect. Petrol prices drops by 52-cents-a-litre, while diesel prices rises by between one-rand-23- and one-rand-38-cent-a-litre. Illuminating paraffin prices increase by one-rand-52-cents-a-litre, while LP gas becomes cheaper. The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources says lower petrol prices were driven by weaker international petrol prices, while diesel costs rose because of global supply shortages and refinery constraints.
