Some fuel stations in Johannesburg say they are running low on supply as motorists rush to fill up ahead of an expected fuel price increase at midnight.
Petrol is set to rise by more than R5 per litre, while diesel could increase by nearly R10 per litre. The increase is linked to global oil price pressures associated with tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
Manager of the Engen fuel station in Auckland Park, Oscar Dumani, says supplies are already under strain.
