9. Section-by-Section Writing Guidance

1. Inland Fuel Price South Africa: current price

  • Put the answer first. Use a current-price placeholder until the official figure has been verified, then add the effective date and units in c/l or R/l.
  • Clarify whether the context is inland, coastal, national, province-specific or fuel-grade-specific.
  • Avoid presenting a forecast, estimate or old table as the latest official price.

2. Inland, coastal or local zone context

  • Explain the geographic price context and whether the page reflects inland/coastal zones rather than a separate municipal price.
  • Add examples of what the reader should compare locally, such as petrol grade, diesel grade and calculator use.
  • Avoid implying every suburb or station has a different official regulated price unless the page is about station-level retail behaviour.

3. Compare petrol, diesel and other fuels

  • Cover diesel-specific needs such as grade differences, inland/coastal context, commercial use cases and fleet relevance.
  • Answer whether the section is about 50ppm, 500ppm, wholesale context or general retail diesel pricing.
