Fuel price INCREASE - Ou vrouenes met nat broeke fred

[dalkill]

don't forget the 47c / lt going to the Road Accident fund -is this fund still bankcrupt

The basic price of fuel is about R6.50 / liter. Somewhere , someone is getting a fat share, and most people on the street is non-the-wiser.

Even PnP is now driving on Biodiesel. Hopefully, all these people converting to BD, will put less pressure on the oil, thus lowering the price - if in fact the price of oil is set by supply and demand - which IMHO, is not.

Im going to throw an idea towards the conspiracy theory
Do you think its possible that the government (been as effeciant as they are :x ) realised a bit late that we dont actually have enough money to pull of the 2010 world cup and are now trying to get it from somewhere

[ThysdJ]

Correction Tristan, we have enough money for the 2010 WC, but not enough for all the bribes and corrupt gov't officials... :evil: :evil:

[Niel]

Hay hay don't speak to my brothers like that I will come down from Zimbabwe and make you vote for me and I will take your fuel ....where is that biofuel farms of mine ...... there is no bribes in SA, they have not bribed me yet otherwise Morgan would have been in power already ......

[Arri]

I bet they do, but they don't steal everything instead they leave a little to maintain the roads too.....

[BenHur]

Dames Dames, julle klink erger as ou tannies met nat broeke

[Tristan]

I think Bennie is teamed up with Neil AKA: Mugabe so I think we will ignore his comments here
Besides we wouldn't complain as much if our 6/7km per lt was to power a 7M-GE power house :evil:

I heard on the news this morning a confirmation that 2010 worldcup will still be held in S.A. so I believe the hikes and extra cash earnt has something to do with that.
I have nothing against hosting world events, but I fel instead of showing off, first concentrate on putting food in peoples bellies, making SA a safer place for all, you know what happened the other day;
a bunch of bank robbers making their gettaway was hijaced and robbed of all their, loot guns and vehicles. As for the RAF(not the boys who saved London) I would gladly contribute that on my petrol bill towards the upgrading of our law and justice systems, If there was any law left in GP then there would be less accidents and 3rd party claims and less tax money dissapearing.... Anyway it's nice being an armchair politician fixeing the worlds problems, And I still believe that the taxi industry gets inscentives in one form or the other,(best kept secret in SA) that's why they race from to robot and don't complain like the rest of us who have drive our Hiluxes to the optimum fuel efficiency.
And what about all the oil reserves in the gulf of Mexico, Russia and many other non arab states, and the natural gas and coal we have in SA, As calculated in the enginering news, and taking into consideration population growth, there is still enough for far over 100 years worth of taking, by the time it's finnished we will drive electric or neuclear powered or some other means of propulsion Toyotas and they will be even better..........

Miskien moet ons hierdie rename na die ouetehuis stoep thread toe

[Scorpion]

Ek dink dis 'n goeie idee, Bennie. Dan kan hulle nou behoorlik teem...

[CasKru]

Jy sien Bennie nê... ons swaai ook dalk petrol kaarte.. maar ons moet vir daai kaarte betaal :evil: :evil: :evil:

Correction on the bio-diesel being dirty, It's SA's diesel in General and it's not the way it gets refined but what happens from the time it goes from the refinery to the petrol staion, They are neglegent allows water and other contaminants to get inside, poor storage facilities, transport and so on causes the problem"the I don't care for regulations attitude "as long as I make a quick buck.
Now this is not a problem in your old diesel bakkie or listir pomp, But when you use it in the high performance turbo diesel engines of today it causes excessive injector wear and turbo wear and a host of other problems, and usually the service departments ends up replacing the engin or at least of it because they do not know the intricate tollerances and adjustment of the fancy diesels.
My bother had to have to have his defenders engin replaced under guarantee after 5000.00 KM they could not fix it, Another friend of mine had his injectors replaced on the D4D after about 20000KM
The article has been in many technical magazines about SA's dirty diesel, and they dilute the diesel with other liquids to give more volume get more bucks out of it.
That is why we petrol heads skipts meals just to put petrol in our tanks, but at least we get the reliability for which we purchased a toyota in the first place.
I think we should convert parafine, or we could go totally un-green and hunt whales for their fatty-oil, it was done in the 2nd word war

Wat wil jy vir my sê jy betaal jou eie petrol. Shame poor sucker geen wonner dit smaak my jy join nou die outannie brigade nie

[Arri]

Spot maar lekker met ons ou tannies wat die pinch voel ek se jou die dinge is besig om met almal op te vang dis hoekom ons so aangaan.
Daar is nog eerlike SA burgers ja ek weet hulle is so skaars soos goeie SFA Hiluxe maar ja ons almal het nie connections wat petrol op ons mediese fondse kan deursit nie
en dit dan nog teen tax ook afskryf nie, Wie moet betaal vir die res van julle slim slinkses.....? So gee ons bietjie simpatie as ons huil oor die atappels wat opgegaan het .......
Gelukkig kan ons die bos in vaar sonder om te worry oor antifreeze in jou petrol en brakefluid, Sonder om te worry jou handbriek vries vas en jou deur slotte ys op nie en spikes aan jou wiele moet sit vir snow tyres nie, soos baie ander lande nie, sien die ou tannie brigade sien ook die positiewe raak, Alhoewel ek 'n paar aande in kalaharie al geglo het di petrol gaan vries, dis hoekom ek pro ethanol is dit is antifreeze vir jou tenk en vir jou bloed alles in een, Warning: Serious death or injury may occur if you don't dilute the ethanol in your tank before consumption,............

Arno, ek's 'n prokureur wat 'n SFA ry, so wat maak dit my? Die antwoord is maklik, kry vir jou 'n goeie prokureur en 'n uitstekende ouditeur en alles is moontlik...

[BenHur]

Ek het julle gewaarsku

[dalkill]

Looks like we in for a 27c / liter decrease , and with the oil currently on a downward trend, we could be in for some more (holding thumbs)

Finally some good news...

[SuidWes]

Yip :D and on Friday petrol already showed an over recovery of more than a rand so hold thumbs Diesel even more

[BenHur]

They already indicated we will not see all they benefit as they will increase the filling station's margins.

Only by a couple of cents, I'm hoping for a nice decrease before our Richtersveld trip 8)

[hilex08]

ek gaan nou volmaak.....ek gooi nie goedkoop branstof in my voertuie nie

[dalkill]

$97 / barrel....

I heard rumors it might hit $66 / barrel - a bit hopeful I think.
OPEC when it was still about $140 / barrel said $75 / barrel is the correct price - this is more realistic . Still a rippoff as In Kuwait it costs them about $17 / barrel to break even, but what can you do - go green, BIODIESEL

Anybody have a steady supply of used vegetable oil? I still want to go BD in the future.

[dalkill]

yeh, last ngith news $74.48 per barrel.... show me the petrol.

I did some calc. Government is saying they cant give is huge discounts in petrol price cause the dollar strengthened. BS.

When the oil hit $150 at 7.20 / $ = R1095, now at $75 at R9.20 / $ = R690... that about 37% less, so our petrol price should be about R6.50 / liter :evil: :evil:

Can you say slush fund...

[Niel]

Can you say slush fund...

the 2010 fund

[dalkill]

are they saving up to bribe every team participating
ranked 85th in the world... no matter if you the host company, any team ranked that pathetically should not partake in a world cup

[Scorpion]

Can you say slush fund...

the 2010 fund

How dare you two say something so irresponsible?? All the proceeds are going to the Minister's Retirement Fund - a very worthy cause indeed! Think about all the good things they do for our country - low crime levels, barely any corruption, a strong Rand...
