Petrol prices

In Saudi 90c a liter, everyone driving a V6 or bigger.

Have a bet Shogunner to compensate for the petrol price increase!

Prices at SA's petrol pumps may rise by up to 78 cents next month, after a 22c increase in August.


The increase could lead to motorists paying up to R11.47/litre in coastal areas, and R11.82/litre in Gauteng.

Didnt i hear someone on TV (an economist i think) say that the price of petrol is ganna go below R10 a litre soon.......clearly they meant below R12 a litre :X

Cape Town - The petrol price will go up by 93c a litre next Wednesday, while diesel will cost 69c/l more.

The steep 8.4% increase that kicks in at midnight on September 5 is to partly to finance wage increases for pump attendants at garages, the Department of Energy said on Friday.

The latest shock hike brings the price of 95 grade petrol in the inland commercial region of Gauteng to R11.97/l and R11.62 at the coast.

The wholesale diesel price will also go up by about 6.7% to R10.95/l.

At 88,000,000 Barrels Per Day.... oildepletiondebate.blogspot.com/2011/05/...barrels-per-day.html

As of today (5-11-2011) global oil consumption is around 88 million barrels per day. Those 42-gallon barrels could fill 67,200,000 steel drums. Since 55-gallon steel drums are 3 feet tall, how many miles long would those 67.2 million drums be if we laid them end to end? 38,182 miles. That enough 55-gallon steel drums to encircle the earth 1 1/2 times each day.

Hope I'm dead before we dry up...anyone figured out how to make a Boeing Prius yet?

Here we go again......Cape Town - Petrol is going up by 21c a litre (93 octane) and 23c/l (95 octane) next Wednesday.

The department of energy said on Friday the increases were due to higher international prices and a weaker rand currency.

I-Net Bridge reports the department also said the price increases between 95 and 93 octane petrol differ due to the quarterly application of the octane price differentials.

The new pump price of 95 grade petrol in Gauteng will increase to R12.20/l.

Motorists at the coast will now have to pay R11.85 for a litre of petrol.

The wholesale diesel price will also go up by 40c to R11.34.

But still me and Tich only put in R200 and it always stays the same,lol.... Great one mate.
