It's been adding the numbers based on mid-month data from the Central Energy Fund.


The AA is predicting petrol will cost R2.45 and R2.60 less per litre.


The price of diesel is expected to go down by around R2.30 a litre, and illuminating paraffin by nearly R2.00.


The AA says the decreases are expected to be substantial because they will not be mitigated by any refunds to the General Fuel Levy.


It says the strengthening rand and lower international oil prices are behind the price drop.
