South African motorists are trying their best to make every drop last as fuel prices continue to soar in 2021
Reader Terence Munyai got more than he bargained for — in an unpleasant way — when he refuelled at the Total Energies Petroport Panorama East in Tshwane, off the N1 freeway, in the vicinity of the Pumulani toll plaza.
“The attendant stopped at just over 66l. Almost immediately after that, fuel started flowing on the floor from underneath the car.” Frustrated, Munyai continued his battle with the Total branch concerned, who offered to provide fuel but not to a value that matched the 11.06l excess that was filled. “I referred the matter to Total SA and lodged a complaint. I was told the matter will be resolved, but they could not resolve the matter.”
“I feel the story is important so other consumers are not bullied and robbed of their hard-earned money in these difficult times when fuel prices are so high.”
