What does your daily commute cost? Mine is ~33USD. :?

Were paying 1.40USD/litre for 95 Unleaded and about 1USD/litre for Milk.

My daily commute is costing me about 20USD/day :shock: It's painfull to watch the Rands section on the fuel pump run past R400,only to climb in to my cat and see the fuel gauge has barely crawled past the halfway mark. :cry:

Our prices are all over the place around the country but here are a few around my area:

ULP 91 RON $1.60 USD/L
LPG $0.66/L
Diesel $1.75/L

Obviously these rates are not static and fluctuate from day to day and place to place.

Milk around $1.75USD/L

Price of a hot Brunnette if the Missus catches you, a smack behind the left earhole with a 2 litre frypan... :D

I walk to work (live close to work). One day I drove to work, but the office parking lot was full, so I drove back home and walked to work. I think it cost me $0.10 for fuel that day :x

Fuel price: 91 RON+MON/2 = US$1.25/liter
Milk price regular non-organic = US$1.00/liter

Might seem like our fuel is the cheapest but for evey km the Europeans drive , we drive 10 and then some..

...as for the milk. well our girls are touchy. They need pampering and it all cost money... :D

In reality ever since there has been a monopoly take over, the prices have soared as you would expect.
