My dad's got a 4.0 petrol Fortuner that does 15l/100km. Poor bastard's gonna suffer.

Hopefully Mboweni won't be foolish enough to raise the interest rates. It will just make the situation worse.

Since Mboweni took over the job, he really did a good job. I'll trust he will take all factors into consideration.
But it is not looking good.

R50 bucks more per tank for me. dang, I'm taking taxis

 

[kingrob]

Damn, I normally give my Yamaha scooter just the best - 95 Unleaded. Now it will most probably cost me R30 to fill up my tank!

It's outrageous!!!

I will stick to 95!

What about that 10c they kept back for a senario like this?

Remember, I think it was in Febr. when the price should have dropped with 40c, it only dropped with 30c.

70c * 15l = R10.50 more per tank... charming. And it just stabilised at about R80 per fill...
