THE petrol price might be cut by 73c a litre on July 4 if the daily under-recovery remains near the June 18 level.
The Department of Energy said the price of wholesale diesel (0.05% sulphur) might drop by about 52c/litre.
If a 73c/litre decrease were to be implemented, it would lower the retail petrol price in Gauteng to R10.94/litre from May’s record R12.22/litre.
