How many Toyota Fortuners you could refuel with the diesel Eskom used in one month

You could fill up more than 750,000 Toyota Fortuner SUVs with the amount of diesel Eskom used for emergency power generation in November 2021.

Eskom chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer recently revealed the utility used R1-billion's worth of diesel to power its open-cycle gas turbines (OCGTs) plant in November 2021 during an online webinar hosted by EE Business Intelligence.

So a quick calculation puts the price paid in FY2021 and FY2020 at R8.9/L and R10.09/L. That is a far cry from the wholesale Diesel price...

Edit: This would put it at a lot more Fortuners for the same money.

yeah, 460 million litres / 80l tank = 5.7 million tanks full in a year or 470000 per month.

My FIL used to equate everything to cases of beer :rolleyes:

And I thought Big Macs were the international metric
