Other costs associated with the petrol price include transport costs (from the harbour to inland areas, which accounts for the difference in price between coastal and inland prices), custom and excise duties, retail margins paid to fuel station owners (currently R2,42 on every litre sold), and secondary storage costs. These costs currently total R4,24/l for inland petrol, and R3,52/l for coastal petrol.
Using the current data, filling a 50-litre tank of fuel inland (93ULP) will cost R1 150,50 inland, and R1 131,00 (95ULP) at the coast – R76,50 more now than a year ago.
