Re: Time to fill the long range tanks
Somebody on the forum who are planning their trip through Africa told me that apparently in Angola fuel price now is about R4.00 per liter and some oil rich countries up in Africa you pay like R1.00 per liter. I mean even in Namibia you can buy our own fuel at R2.00 per liter less than what you pay for it in South Africa.

They'll find a way to syphon off the surplus of over-recovery, .... perhaps to pay for the e-toll blunder. Hope I'm wrong. 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Re: Time to fill the long range tanks
No, not permanently, the fuel price only drops when he comes back from a holiday, so at least allow him to come home, then we will see the price drop.george wrote:Then it is time you go permanently on holidayThysdJ wrote:Didnt I tell you guys, as soon as we are back from holiday the price of fuel drops?
