Prices are decreasing across the board but customers are warned not to expect too much.
Motorists will pay 9 cents less for a litre of 95 and 93 octane petrol.
Diesel will go down by about 30 cents while paraffin will cost 23 cents less.
The Mineral Resources and Energy Department says the decrease of brent crude oil price and the slight appreciation of the Rand are the reasons for the fuel price adjustments.
Petrol has increased by nearly R3 while diesel has gone up more than R2 per litre since January.
