my local guys see me a mile away coming in and they all race to me quick quick for service
i can pit in almost as quick as an F1 car on my motorbike :laugh:
 
Yes as long as I have change on me (which is becoming rarer as I don't use cash often). Generally R2 but if they do tyres/windscreen usually R5.
 
Yes, only R2 to R3, but only if they clean the windows without asking. I check under the hood myself & tyres myself.

Petrol Attendants earn a wage or salary. We shouldn't be subsidizing the garage owner.

this,
see those guys as a nuisance TBH,

I tip them in coke (No not that type....)

It is amazing to see how far a 500ml buddy coke (well 440ml in recent years) will get you.
 
Depends. If it's just to fill up, then no.
But say I had asked for tire pressure check and whatever else, then I do tend to tip them.

Using this data, filling a 50 litre tank with 93 unleaded petrol inland will cost R711,50. This is comprised of the Fuel Levy - R3,37 x 50l (R168,50), RAF levy – R1,93 x 50l (R96,50), associated costs – R3,12 x 50l (R156), and the Basic Fuel Price – R5,81 x 50l (R290,50).


Petrol price breakdown - The Automobile Association of South Africa

To understand how the fuel price is comprised, we are publishing a fuel price breakdown for the third year. This breakdown gives a snapshot of how the cost of every litre of petrol inland, and at the coast, is determined. These figures are based on 93 unleaded octane fuel (inland) and 95 octane...
