Zone 5C fuel price: R29.84 for 95

Kliprivier and its zone 5C neighbours move to R29.84 for 95 on Wednesday 7 October; 93 goes to R29.47.

Against the coast (zone 1A) the premium is 46 c/l; against Gauteng’s 9C it is 41 c/l less than Gauteng.

Only one magisterial district carries this code: Kliprivier, in KwaZulu-Natal.

The boundary with zone 5B runs near Msinga, some 30 km from Kliprivier; 95 is 11 c/l cheaper on that side.

Within KwaZulu-Natal, which uses 13 zones, 5C is number 9 from the cheapest; the province runs from R29.38 in zone 1A to R30.32 in zone 58C.

For diesel the state fixes the wholesale price only – R32.39 a litre for 50ppm here – so retail diesel varies from site to site.

Put 50 litres of 95 in and the slip reads R1,492.00; it read R1,325.50 before the change.
