Busiest days at local filling stations

We had the pleasure of speaking with Tinashe Mudzingwa, an employee at a local Engen garage in Cape Town, about the busiest days in his workplace and the typical amounts of fuel customers purchase.

"Our station gets the busiest from the 25 up to just a few days after a new month as most people are paid and would normally fill their tanks to capacity. We also get busy the day before the fuel is about to go up.

We sometimes see a large influx of customers around the 15th, but since we are not the only fuel station in the area, the inflow around that time is inconsistent."

We asked him who mostly buys petrol between men and women and he said:

"It depends, but most of the customers I've served are men, and they mostly put petrol in larger amounts as some drive cars with big tanks. Some women would fill their tanks to full around and come around for smaller amounts during the course of the month."
