Massive petrol price increase coming next week

What if the word "massive" didn't exist?

It would be a huge thing!

This one is massive though:

The expected increase will move the cost of a litre of fuel, 93 octane (inland) to R15.15 a litre. At the same time last year, this fuel cost R13.57 a litre. The increase represents a R1.58 increase year-on-year, an 11.64% increase.

Thanks for all the massive taxes we are paying
 
Apparently there is an error in the CEF's figures, the report may not be correct.

*edit* looks like thats confirmed as an error

Fuel prices in May will increase by around 49 cents a litre as of 2 May, and not 92 cents as earlier predicted by the Automobile Association (AA). The error occurred due to an earlier closing off of the reporting period for fuel increases by the Department of Energy.

The Automobile Association (AA) commented earlier on unaudited month-end fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund (CEF), based on the figures provided up to yesterday (25 April). According to these figures, the under-recovery (and therefore the predicted increase at the pumps) of the fuel price was 92 cents a litre.

However, the Department of Energy has based its new fuel price for May on the figures of Tuesday (24 April), which indicate an increase of 49 cents a litre for petrol, 60 cents for diesel, and 52 cents for illuminating paraffin.

Filled up my car on Saturday and have not driven it since. F...k them and their fuel price, my car is a toy to me - not an essential part of my everyday life. I think this is how they hold so many people hostage because they know no matter what the price, people will pay.

It will only get worse now that the Ramaposamoon is over.
