Consumers suffered a third blow when Minerals and Energy announced today that the price of petrol will rise by between 37- and 40-cents on Wednesday.
All grades of diesel will go up by 40-cents. The poor will be hit especially hard as the retail price of illuminating paraffin will shoot up by 62-cents a litre.
This follows yesterday’s announcement of a 31-point-three percent increase in the price of electricity on Wednesday and the Reserve Bank’s decision not to lower interest rates.
