Petrol Stations

South Africa has a well-developed network of petrol stations, with over 10,000 stations nationwide. The majority of these stations are operated by a handful of large oil companies, such as Shell, BP, and Engen. However, there are also a number of independent petrol stations. Petrol stations in South Africa are typically open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They offer a variety of services, including fuel sales, car washes, and convenience stores. Some petrol stations also offer car repair services.

The cost of petrol in South Africa varies depending on the type of fuel and the location of the petrol station. In general, petrol is more expensive in urban areas than in rural areas. If you are planning a road trip in South Africa, it is important to be aware of the petrol prices in the areas you will be travelling through. You can find petrol price information online or by calling the South African Automobile Association (AA). The AA also provides a free petrol station locator service. This service allows you to find petrol stations near your current location or along your planned route.
