Nobody on this forum should be at all surprised by now. We have gone through this petrol price discussion numerous times before on this forum.

Definitely, I have no problem at all with you sharing the news but just hoping it does not turn into another discussion about why it is increasing.
 
yip still sucks

Off Topic:
@ xrapidx - were you at HiFi Corp Canal Walk this morning?
Spotted a car like yours leaving as I was pulling in.
 
Jeepers - 3rd response to the question :p

/derail of note - I are proud

I walked out with Assassin's Creed for R100, that was it.

Not in the market for anything really and keeping my cash back for my roadtrip.

So just went in to see if something would catch my eye and have me making an impulse purchase. But luckily that didn't happen.
Those 50"+ TV's are awesome though! But didn't have R37k laying around :D :p

Well I had to make the assumption that you were talking about yourself as your post was not grammatically correct. Your simple sentence failed to include a subject therefore the reader was forced to make an assumption as to whom you were referring to.

Nope - I might of been driving past on Canal Walk Boulevard - it goes to our house, and to my office - if the S2000 was loud, sorta like a V8 loud - then it was me.

Ah ok then :)
Nah it was inside the parking area of Canal Walk ;)
 
Still wonder why they can justify 2 different pricing zones in SA of most of our petrol up here is made in Secunda & Sasolburg???
