The department explained that two factors drove the decline in fuel prices. Firstly, the average international product prices for petrol and diesel reduced during the pricing review period.

Data tracked by Trading Economics showed the average price of Brent Crude Oil, the primary product in petroleum, moved between about $61 and $66 per barrel between 26 September and 30 October 2025.

“The average rand-to-dollar exchange rate for the period was 17.2930 compared to 17.4855 during the previous period,” the DMRE said.
