Taking these growing costs into account, BusinessTech calculated how much it would cost to travel to South Africa\u2019s most popular holiday destinations in the country\u2019s best-selling cars in five categories \u2013 bakkie, SUV, hatchback, sedan, and crossover \u2013 factoring in the cost of petrol and the current toll fees.<\/p>\n
South Africa\u2019s best-selling cars in the selected categories were selected from the latest new vehicle sales report provided by Naamsa.<\/p>\n
We then calculated how much fuel each of these cars consumes based on the manufacturer\u2019s provided average fuel consumption per\/100km.<\/p>\n
In each case, the manufacturer\u2019s least expensive model was considered. 95 octane (R23.46) and 0.05% diesel prices (R23.92) as of December 2022 were used for comparison purposes.<\/p>\n
We then calculated the fuel costs when travelling to some of South Africa\u2019s most popular holiday destinations, using the City of Johannesburg\/Tshwane as a benchmark. These costs were then added to the latest toll costs as of 1 March 2022.<\/p>\n
