I live in Cape town. I pay R7.10 at a petrol station around the corner where I live. This evening, Sunday 11 July 2010, I went to refill at another petrol station, just a few km from where I live and I paid over R8.00. Is’nt the price suppose to be the same? If this is price fixing, who should I contact to reposrt the owners.
