Frequently Asked Questions

Are petrol cars still worth considering in South Africa?
They can be, depending on the exact car and how it will be used. Compare the current derivative price, the manufacturer's published combined fuel-consumption figure, warranty and service requirements, then estimate costs for your own annual distance rather than assuming one fuel type is always better.
What fuel economy should I expect from a petrol car?
There is no single figure for every petrol car. Engine design, vehicle mass, transmission, traffic, speed, load and driving style all matter. Use the published combined-consumption value for the exact South African derivative as a comparison reference, and expect everyday results to vary.
How should I compare petrol and diesel fuel costs?
Use current local pump prices and the published consumption figure for each exact derivative. Multiplying litres used per 100 km by the relevant price per litre gives a simple fuel-cost comparison; also check servicing, insurance and the type of driving you do.
