Hi everyone,
It is Friday 14h00 - already unleaded petrol is difficult to obtain in Pretoria. I estimate that by tonight no petrol will be available at all.
So if you wanna fly this weekend, I suggest you go fill your cans right now!

There have been a number of posts on the subject. I can't recall the specifics but you can do a search on the subject.
I remember when SA switched over to the LRP and normal leaded was fased out, there were a spate of mysterious engine-outs and all sorts of fuel related problems. Granted, some of it was pure speculation but the circumstantial evidence was overwhelming.

Because our friends in the petroleum industry are on strike.
