10 ways to save on petrol amid record prices in South Africa

Most South Africans are waking up this morning to full fuel tanks but the prospect of paying much more for the next tank. At midnight the price of fuel increased by R1.21 for petrol and R1.48 for diesel. That brings the fuel price to just under R20 per litre.

Just drive less. Join driving clubs if you need to. If you have no other option, then be sure you charge your clients more for products or services to make up for the additional costs.

SA should consider more job ubers, taking 5 or 10 people to work at a time. This is 5 or 10 less vehicles needing petrol and sticking it to government.

5 to 10 people to work? Outside of taxis what kind of vehicle do you think most people actually own?

I was actually referring to someone starting up a business, buy and maintain proper taxis and use them solely for the middle class working person living in Pinetown but who needs to travel to work in Durban. Or the person living in Roodepoort but needs to travel to Randburg for work. Hell, even serve them with a cup of coffee in the morning on their way to work and a cold drink the afternoon back home. If you have more people on certain routes, buy a bus.

If you drive a turbo car then please ignore the suggesting around idling. Let your car idle for at least 60 seconds before you turn it off.
