Garages risk hefty fines over unleaded fuel

Fuel stations that fail to meet the state’s deadline to provide only unleaded petrol by June can be fined up to one million rands.
The department of minerals and energy has given all fuel stations until March to phase out high-sulphur diesel.
According to Business Day, deputy minerals and energy minister Lulu Xingwana says government is satisfied that most fuel stations have already started complying with new regulations, but warns that those found to be lagging behind could face hefty fines.
