9. Section-by-Section Writing Guidance

1. Fuel Price Over Recovery Under Recovery: latest view

  • 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. Expected petrol, diesel and paraffin movement

  • 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.
  • Avoid blending petrol and diesel pricing rules without explaining the difference.

3. What is driving the change

  • Keep the section tightly focused on fuel price over-recovery under-recovery and the intent of this exact URL.
  • Use South African examples, plain language and clear distinctions between official prices, forecasts, estimates and general guidance.
  • Avoid drifting into a separate canonical topic; link to the relevant planned page instead.

4. Inland vs coastal impact

  • 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.

5. Latest official fuel-price update

  • 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.

6. Previous monthly changes

  • Explain the inputs the reader needs, including distance, consumption, fuel type, price per litre and usage period.
  • Show how the section should route users to the most relevant calculator page, while making clear that calculations are estimates.
  • Avoid hard-coding example prices unless they are labelled as examples or verified with an effective date.

7. Methodology and disclaimer

  • Describe data fields, update cadence, source hierarchy and validation steps only where they are confirmed.
  • Direct commercial users to the appropriate data/API conversion path without inventing endpoints, trials or pricing.
  • Avoid claims about downloads, live feeds or integrations that are not already verified.

8. Frequently asked questions

  • Use FAQs only to answer genuine follow-up questions visible on the page.
  • Keep answers brief and avoid adding FAQPage schema unless eligibility is confirmed.
