and instead to drive more efficiently to make their fuel last longer.

• Reduce idling by switching off the engine when stationary for extended periods
• Plan journeys to combine errands, avoid traffic and choose more efficient routes

Okay, now show me how to do this when spending ~2 hours a day on the N3.

"The South African government has urged motorist to not panic"

When the anc says this then you know there's a shyteshow on it's way even worse than the current one they created.

"This comes as the new review period for price adjustments in November kicks off, with the CEF pointing to another R4 per litre under-recovery waiting in the wings."

Edit: this has changed already though again, for the better,

This being the same Government that is singularly responsible for the Rand's collapse and then picking fights with our biggest trading partners?

The bigger problem is, when the knock-on effect of these fuel price hikes come a few months down the line.
