# The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has announced fuel price changes effective from midnight. Diesel will drop by between eight-and-ten-cents-per-litre. However, 95-octane petrol will rise by eight-cents and 93-octane petrol by one-cent-per-litre. The retail price of illuminating paraffine will decrease by 15-cents-per-litre and LP gas will also decrease by 17-cents-per-kilogram. The Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources approved a retail margin increase of 6-cents-per-litre for petrol from tomorrow. This increase is necessary to accommodate the wage increases of pump attendants, cashiers and administrative staff at service stations.
Diesel goes down, but price of petrol increases as retail margin is adjusted
