💨 Abstract

The latest fuel price increases have affected holidaymakers in South Africa, as both petrol and diesel prices rose from New Year's Day. Motorists will need to budget for higher fuel costs as they travel home in the coming days, with schools set to reopen on January 15. The price hike is due to a global increase in petrol prices and a weaker rand relative to November, leading to an under-recovery in prices.
