No really, you shouldn’t have
Posted by Don Packett under Uncategorized on December 22 2005 at 11:11 AMEveryone must have noticed the recent fuel shortage, a friend of mine went to 9 different petrol stations looking for unleaded last week, it’s ridiculous. And a petrol attendant told me that about 200 stations in Gauteng had no unleaded.
Now it looks like the department of minerals and energy could cut the petrol price by a whole whopping, wait for it, 7c!
WOAH! HOLD THE PHONE!
How would oil companies survive by making such a sacrifice after inconveniencing thousands of motorists? Wow, they sure are swell. Increase the price by a gazillion bucks during the year, then drop it, just a smidge. The coolest thing is, is that it’ll probably happen after most people get back from their holidays, so those long trips will be burning current-priced fuel.
I bitch. And I moan. But I can’t do a goddam thing about it. Oh well, it helps a little. Happy driving!

Which is why I’m seriously looking into hybrids – or building a totally electric/solar car myself that doesn’t cost hundreds of thousands. Or I may just get a horse.

The decreases takes into account the implementation of an equalisation fund levy of 10c/l in the fuel price structures since May to be used in the future for price smoothing purposes.
It might be a good ting to invest in a Segway or motorized skateboard!
