You don't fill a bucket full of holes by pouring more water into it. You first plug the holes.

Well said - we are already so overtaxed

 

[Enzo Matrix]

U can be assured this will be recovered from income tax. U can also be assured which demographic will be targeted

Who uses 93 ?? only the voter fodder maybe................

My car is 17 years old, so it used 93.
Sorry that not everyone drives brand new cars every year.

Two of my cars use 93 but both are off the road at the moment and neither would be used daily anyway.

Price fixing, seriously, are people incapable of learning from Zimbabwe and Venezuela? All that means is there will be a massive shortage. Petrol via the black market is a lot harder to wangle people. Stupidity in its purest form. We can't fix the economy and prices are going up so lets institute price controls. Hyper inflation to follow.

Populism ftw. We must be nearing an election or something...

Everyone inland that doesn't drive a turbo car.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

We don't get 93 down here? lol

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah... fsck you GP lot and getting capped 93... we don't get 93 on the coast.

Once they cap it it would just run out and we will all use 95.

Thats nice for you inlanders.... Us coastal ppl don't even have the choice of 93... ....

But then its no surprise that the Minister and the team tasked with figuring this crap out are not even aware of the absolute basics about fuel distribution in SA.

Nothing good will come from this.

O , for some tenderpreneur is going to score... someone will make money of this. But at cost of the country.

 

[LazyLion]

I think they are hoping that 95 octane and Diesel price increases will subsidise the price of 93.

 

[akescpt]

more populist politics. banking the votes. why are they so desperate for votes? intriguing.

 

[Vrotappel]

Pipe dream.

South Africa’s fuel price cap is on the way

Energy minister, Jeff Radebe, has announced that the proposal to cap the price of 93 octane petrol will be finalised soon.

Doesn't help me,I can only use 95 in mine

As much as I wish that they sold 93 at the coast (my car should use 91 octane at the coast) very few cars in SA are built for 93 at the coast, thus stations don't sell it here.

As for the guys fearing shortages, lp gas has had a price cap for years and I have yet to see the scenarios predicted here.

I do. What's wrong with using 93? If your car can benefit from 95, sure go for it. But no point in pouring 95 into my one car. The other one I use 95. But the daily runaround is a 2007 Jazz and Honda themselves said no point in 95.
