Huge fuel increase

[OFFROAD ADDICT]

Next week up to 73c per liter more.
This is starting to bite now. Ok part of that increase is a RAF fuel levy.

Oh dear, the FJ is becoming more and more a dream!!

[Henris]

Learn to live with it.

If we can't even put together a protest to the E-Tolls, then we have no hope of contesting the fuel price...

[Photokid]

Is it not 36c for petrol and 21c for diesel?
73c is crazy!

[dirtshark]

It was a fuel increase + a 20c levy!!

[Apocalypse]

just saw this.

Petrol will now be almost R12/litre up country amd R11.50 down here.

when I got the Pentastar - over the Diesel - Diesel was R11 a litre and petrol about R10 a litre, so it kind of made sense to use a little more fuel at lower cost.

it's gone up significantly since january...

[Chris8d]

Down here it is 50 something cent for petrol and 49c for diesel. That takes us to R11.5... something for fuel down here R1620 to fill the Hilux tank now

[JasonRSA]

Gee, the V8 just smarts a little now. Busy burning my kid's varsity fees...

[CarloJK]

OUCH ,THATS GOING TO HURT!!! NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

i was wondering they say diesel up here should be 10.88 , according to news 24 , i have not seen that price here for a while its been like 11.30 , thats before the increase ? and some places charge more and less for diesel ... im referring to 500ppm ... am i missing something also whats this levy thing about

[LouisXander]

Ek gooi 50ppm in vir R10.82 tans. Nou gaat dit oor die R11.30! Eish!! Net bike ry van nou af!

back on topic ... my V8 is thirsty, but thats the price I'm willing to pay for the smile on my face every time I drive it

[pblaauw]

Gaan self maar die bakkie parkeer, en SWAMBO se Fiesta begin werk toe ry.. 1400cc enjin is darem nie so dors nie..

[Wynand]

I'm seriously thinking of permanently moving to Angola when I see this. Here diesel is about R2/l and petrol around R4/l. The down side of this is, everybody's got some form of motorized transport which makes the traffic situation a nightmare.

[LouisXander]

Howzit Alan! I read your thread on your jeep! Nice going, considering a jeep commander myself, diesel though. The 8.9km/l with the Terry makes my eyes burn, but al least its 4x4!!

Hey.

Nice one, I know you want to move over to the Dark side.

8.9km/l ... ... if I get 7.5km/l I am overjoyed and throw a party!

So what do I change to run wheat ethanol?

[superduper]

The best fuel-saving device I ever had was a broken right ankle.The cast meant that throttle control was limited to how far I could move my big toe. The fuel savings were surprising.
