Petrol under code 4A

Albany heads the district list of zone 4A, where 95 is regulated at R29.58 with effect from Wednesday 7 October and 93 at R29.21.

For a 50-litre fill the zone premium over the coast comes to R10.00; per litre it is 20 c/l.

Which districts, which neighbours

The same ceiling applies in Albany, Alexandria, Calitzdorp, Eshowe and 14 more, the 18 districts the list assigns to 4A.

The closest different zone is 5A at Ceres, 18 km from Tulbagh; its 95 price is 11 c/l dearer.

Put 4A next to the other Eastern Cape zones and it lands 4 of 15, inside a band from R29.38 to R30.24.

Beyond petrol

Diesel buyers get less protection: only the wholesale price, R32.12 for 50ppm, is fixed for this zone.

Fill a 50-litre tank with 95 and you pay R1,479.00, a more of R166.50 on last month.
