Petrol
I was planning a road trip until I just saw the price of fuel going up to about R17 a lt.So the cost of living is going to be out of reach for most people now.Its not like you have a bus service like the old days where you could go just about any where on a bus now you must walk.

Re: Petrol
Agreed Terry.
Big part of my business is driving around seeing clients and I am telling you it is getting ridiculous.
It is getting out of hand this has a major effect on my bottom line.

Re: Petrol
Love taking the odd road trip or exploring off the beaten track. Now i look for places closer to home. Lots of little towns in SA may loose out due to fewer people visiting during festive periods.
