SEE: R5,000 petrol bill leaves tweeps in shock as this SA man didn't even get a full tank...
How much petrol can a tank take if a tank could make it full...
We cannot say for certain what people who drive big vehicles feel like after leaving the petrol station, but what we are certain of is that they definitely need to form a WhatsApp group and maybe even a support group...
Now we all know that the consistent fuel hikes have been difficult on us all. Some have opted to leave their vehicles parked at home and take public transport, while others are breaking open the piggy banks they have had since childhood.
Safe to say, it's a hard knock on the wallet...
So when this man by the name of Craig posted a pic of a petrol pump on Twitter after filling up his vehicle with fuel recently, let's just say it got the internet talking. The petrol pump total came to R5,000 and his tank was still hungry for more...
He had to ask the attendant to stop filling up... at just over 231 litres! Crikey!

I drove until both tanks were empty. Something I’ve never done before. Eventually I told the petrol attendant to stop pouring. He took pictures and called his colleagues to come see…apparently a new record for some of them 🥲 🥺🤕 pic.twitter.com/mh5QCPmqwM

Let’s just say that’s the last time I go into the store while they fill my tank! Even I didn’t believe it

This was after he had emptied his tank, which he admits to never doing before. But we guess that has something to do with prolonging the trip to the petrol station...
We've all been there before, dreading the fuel tank light...
His vehicle has two tanks, and this is because some 4x4 vehicles are fitted with an overflow tank for when they are doing off road driving. Some of the comments were quite entertaining, but we think it somehow made him feel better talking about it.
Jiiiiiiiiiiiiks.....Enlighten us, on average what would be the fuel range (in terms of kilometres) would 231 litres give you Craig?
