South African motorists had expected a mixed outlook for fuel prices in South Africa, with petrol prices that experienced another hike in April, making travel costs that much more expensive for motorists.

While petrol prices have lined up for a hike, it’s worth noting that this is down significantly from recoveries at the start of the month, where prices were lining up for a R1.00 hike.

The reduction in under-recoveries – and the move into over-recovery for diesel – are thanks to a stronger rand relative to last month, as well as a lower oil price in rand terms.

If these recoveries follow through to the end of the month, this should provide some relief to motorists using diesel, as well as various industries that rely on diesel to operate.

Investing in a relatively affordable and fuel-efficient car is never a bad idea, saving you money in the long run.

With the flat fuel price bringing little relief, BusinessTech looked at some of the most fuel-efficient budget cars you can buy in South Africa right now.
