Zula Posted April 25, 2012 Share At least this will keep interest rates down. That's about the only positive thing to come from these increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules1976 Posted April 25, 2012 Share I can't take it anymore, tired of bending over and getting shafted. FFS This country is effed.Agreed with u 110% its insane to think we are paying so much for essentialsif we had a decent public mode of transport we wudnt be complaining and then the demand for oil wud be less thus prices will be lower.

Eldron Posted April 25, 2012 Share I'm fortunate enough to get company petrol so I don't really check the petrol price much - I checked it out last week and DAMN HOLY BAZOOKA OF ALL THINGS SANE - it'll be over R12/litre after this hike. When did that happen? CPI is supposed to be 6% but in April 2010 the petrol price was R8.40/litre in April 2012 it will be R12.05/litre. Thats a 43% increase in 2 years...fook!

Interesting to see the answers I only drive 40km to work and back each day, and I am now really considering the Gautrain. Hell even better I think I will start cycling!

Wannabe Posted April 25, 2012 Share They have to find alternative ways to finance the E-Tolls. They are being proactive here, if the motorists does not want to pay the tolls, find another way of getting their money. This is an easy and surefire way of doing it. :cursing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see the answersAlso measured my routes to and from work, and alternatives. Will drive 1/2 way, cycle the rest. Every Km that I cycle is a Rand not spent on travelling by car.
