The Cape Town man quickly snapped a photo of the unbelievable readout on the petrol tank, before he asked to see the station's owner.

According to Davids's Facebook post, he went for a drive in his Toyota 86 sports car to purchase koeksisters and visited the fuel station.

He says:

"2 litres for R300, luckily I checked before I paid...I told the petrol attendant to call the owner and was advised to use another pump."

The price of unleaded 95-grade fuel is currently R24.77 per litre, the AA reports.

Based on Davids's post the petrol price at that establishment was a crazy R150 per litre. Here are some of the comments from the post:

RichArd Whitebooi says:

"Hope you got you petrol from another pump."

Earl Kiewitz says:

"How many people paid and never saw the mistake?"

Jason Williams says:

"Good thing you paid attention bro."

Gorgeous SA woman says she doesn’t want flowers, a man must buy petrol after she spent R3 000 filling tank

A video of a South African woman putting petrol into her Mercedes-Benz C-Class has the internet confused.

A gorgeous woman confessed in a video that flowers just don't do it for her as a gift. Instead, she wants petrol, according to her TikTok clip.

The clip shows the woman rolling into a petrol station and filling her Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

However, Komani ends the video by showing viewers the final bill, and South Africans got stuck into her in the comments section. The price for filling her 115-litre tank was R3 184, but many said Komani's car isn't fitted with such a large fuel tank.
