The MINISTER OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS AND TECHNOLOGY:
  1. (1) South Africa is divided into price zones for the calculation of the pump price of petrol. However, a uniform basic wholesale price for each of the three petrol grades is applicable. To these wholesale prices the average transport cost from the coast to each of the zones are added as well as the retail margin to calculate the pump prices in each price zone. In the PWV area, being in zone 13A, the pump prices are as follows:
    93 octane 82 c/l
    87 octane 79 c/l
    In Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and Durban, all being in zone 1 A, the pump prices are as follows:
    98 octane 79 c/l
    93 octane 74 c/l
  2. (2) No, not on a continuous basis because it plays no role in the determination of the retail price of petrol in South Africa.
  3. (3) 28 April 1988.
