We compared the cost of driving yourself to the airport against that of the Gautrain.

At the Gautrain station, I had to purchase a card or ticket, which took roughly five minutes to do..

You can travel with a tap to pay debit or credit card, so this doesn't apply surely? Doesn't affect the cost either.

Also, booking your parking at ORT more than 5 days in advance will save about 50% of your parking fees. Even a day or 2 before you'll still save something at least.

My car has a combined fuel consumption of 5.4l/100km, which translates to 18.5km per litre

Manufacturers claim ? or actual logged consumption ?

Save yourself the money and Gautrain to Rhodesfield and UBER to the airport from there - sure it adds an extra 10-15mins travel time but man do you cut away the R136 cost to go from Rhodesfield to OR Tambo!
