Abaqhubi beenqwelo-mafutha banokuba nethuba lokufumana uncedo oluncinci kakhulu kwiipompo zepetroli kwinyanga ezayo kunokuba bekulindelwe ngaphambili, ngelixa abasebenzisi bedizili bejongene nethuba lokunyuka kwamaxabiso aphezulu njengoko amaxabiso aphezulu eoyile yehlabathi eqala ukungena kwiindleko zepetroli zasekuhlaleni.
Inkqubela yamva nje yemihla ngemihla evela kwiCentral Energy Fund (CEF) ibonisa ukuba ipetroli ye-octane engama-93 ngoku kulindeleke ukuba yehle nge-19c/l ngenyanga yeThupha, ngelixa i-octane engama-95 kulindeleke ukuba yehle nge-14c/l.
Imbono yedizili iye yehla kakhulu, nangona kunjalo, ixabiso le-diesel ye-50ppm ngoku liqikelelwa ukuba linyuke nge-R1.42/l kunye ne-500ppm diesel nge-R1.60/l.
Iingxelo zamva nje zibonisa utshintsho olukhulu kwimeko ephakathi kwinyanga yeKhala, xa i-CEF yayikhomba ekunciphiseni amaxabiso epetroli kuyo yonke indawo. Ngelo xesha, ipetroli ye-octane engama-93 yayiza kwehla nge-R1.30/l kunye ne-octane engama-95 nge-R1.26/l, ngelixa amaxabiso edizili ngobuninzi ayelindeleke ukuba ehle nge-74c/l kwi-50ppm kunye ne-47c/l kwi-500ppm.
Olu tshintsho lulandela ukubuya kwamaxabiso eoyile yehlabathi njengoko uxinzelelo olutsha kuMbindi Mpuma luye lwabangela inkxalabo malunga nokuhanjiswa kwe-crude. I-Brent crude ngoku irhweba malunga ne-$81.54 ibhareli emva kokuhla ngaphantsi kwe-$75 ekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
Njengesiqhelo, uqikelelo lulolwexeshana kwaye lusenokutshintsha ngaphambi kokuphela kwenyanga njengoko i-CEF iqhubeka nokulandelela iintshukumo kwixabiso leoyile yamazwe ngamazwe kunye nezinga lokutshintshiselana ngedola yerandi.
Isebe lemithombo yezimbiwa kunye nepetroli kulindeleke ukuba libhengeze uhlengahlengiso olusemthethweni lwexabiso leoyile kweyeThupha ekupheleni kwenyanga, kunye namaxabiso amatsha aqala ukusebenza ngoLwesithathu, umhla wesishalnu (5) kweyeThupha.
