The Department of Energy has announced that the price of petrol will increase by between 25 and 29 cents per litre from Wednesday, 4 October.
The price of both grades of diesel will rise by 42 cents per litre while illuminating paraffin will be 39 cents higher per litre and the cost of LP gas will rise by 39 cents per kilogram
This is the first time since August 2014 that the inland price has breached R14.00/ litre.
The department attributed the fuel price hikes to rising global prices for petrol and diesel.
This follows increases of 19c and 67c a litre for all grades of petrol in August and September respectively.
The Automobile Association (AA) predicted last week that fuel prices would go up, given stronger international oil prices and a weakening rand.
