    The petrol price scam

    The basic fuel price is R9.30 ... anyone need vaseline

    R1600 to fill my vehicle ... the lady who works for me uses more than 20 % of her salary to get to and from work everyday.

    The assistant uses more than 35 % of his salary to get to and from work every day ... yes 35 % of his salary and the government say its to benefit who ?

    When will electric vehicles become a reality in SA ...or are they waiting for a way to tax and levy electricity ? At the rate the electricity price is increasing who can afford an electric vehicle ... only the smart and rich will benefit.

    If you really want to get upset, have a look at the petrol prices at Botswana.

    11 Botswanian Pula per liter...

    Now 1.00 BWP = 1.36 ZAR

    that is R14,96 per liter...

    Scary part is they buy their petrol from us as it is refined at SASOL...

    How is that blood-pressure doing ?

    You need to understand how the fuel prices are calculated, and how the slate works.

    They made a 6c error this month, but since the 80's, this is how it has been done.

    Electric cars will never become a reality in South Africa while Escam is still around scamming us on price and delivery.

    Whilst I am all for another form of energy to travel in, and electricity is in my portfolio, Electric cars are severely limited by several drawbacks, including:

    A shortage of charging stations.
    High electricity costs.
    Insufficient electricity capacity to meet the demand of battery charging
    Disappointing battery capacity that limits the distance the cars can be driven between charges.
    Painfully long charging times.

    Electric cars are a joke and a waste of energy - pardon the pun.

    It is simply senseless to use a 1 ton car to move a 100kg human. Proper public transport has 100000x the benefit.

    Hope you are enjoying quality time with mommy, Adrian.
