Cape Town guys, need your help. we recently did a Power generator job for a British navy Sub berthed in Simonstown.
The fuel supplier is chrging us R6.10 per/ltr as we used about ±35 000ltr for the job (well you can do the maths). Question >what is the current price of diesel per ltr at the moment in CT ?

thanx :D

looks like i'm gonna get me a CT trip if we find out these guys are ripping us off.

Cheers

But I know diesel is cheaper than petrol, and petrol at the coast is cheaper than up here, and up here petrol is now going for R4.00 a liter ................

so they are RIPPING YOU OFF :p

The price of diesel is not regulated like petrol. Therefore, diesel can be charged at any price at the pump.

Thank's, i thought the price was a bit high, i think they are taking a chance, cos' they think a Big U.K Co. will not complain considering the exchange rate. little do these buggers know that there are a few clever SA's in this Co. looks like my SA trip may incl. CT.

This SA shipping Co. also charged us R30 000 to move 3 containers from Durbs to CT......sounds suspicious. :angry:


Anyone in CT can confirm the price for me...please. :D

As explained in my previous note, the price of diesel is deregulated. This means that a service station can charge any price for the product per litre. Unlike petrol, the government will set the price and that is the price that a dealer must charge at the pump. For you to establish the pump price for diesel , you will have to contact any service station and they will give you the price that they charge. Remember though, that the price will vary from site to site.

Where I put in Diesel ranges from like R3.55 for the yucky stuff that has high sulpher(not a prob for a genny) to around R3.95 for the low sulpher sasol turbodiesel and around R3.85 for Total's 0.3 percent sulpher ecodiesel. R6 is a BIG ripoff and they should be ashamed of taking so much money from the rich arabs :;):
