But that won't make a difference if fuel keeps rising. Yes , they compete with each other but they will just compete at a higher rate as the fuel climbs. And the logistic companies purchase directly from the fuel providers, so there is no room for price alteration.
There's some room as people get nice discounts on some reward programs.
Not enough and again, this won't help with food and the logistics of delivery. Those costs are passed on directly.
Filling your own tanks probably wouldn't make a huge difference:
You say "the **** they are" to his statement about what pumps are labelled as, he proves it, now you have to go and check?
If the gov change it to where they set a maximun price instead of a retail price, then this would help. Maybe not a lot, but it would help. Even if petrol was R5 a litre this would be better than them setting a retail price with no room for competetive pricing.
yep but they only want to action unleaded, not diesel, that's the issue.
The closest filing station to me is labelled "unleaded", etc. No LRP though.
The levy goes into the general fiscus so I don't see that happening.
Yip. Same as mine. Checked a Shell and a BP. Only ULP and 50ppm diesel.
There are no pumps labelled LRP that I can find in GP.You say "the **** they are" to his statement about what pumps are labelled as, he proves it, now you have to go and check?
LRP is mostly sold in poorer areas. You are less likely to find it in Sandton and Parktown but Soweto and Brakpan probably still sell LRP.
Yup... to keep the hoenderhokke going... i.e. cars that should have been destroyed more than 10 years ago, but are still on our roads, presenting a hazard to not only the occupants, but the other road users too.
