About this time last year I put my price up by R10 after 3 successive increases in the petrol (gasoline) price here, now with the prospect of it going up again from just below R3/litre (equivilent but not related to US$0.45cents/litre or US$2.04/gallon[imperial]) it is time to revise prices, again. Petrol price never comes down here enough to reduce prices :( Brian Lawson PTG Assc, MPT.
