FUEL SHORTAGE

Zed Carer said:
Had to do the shopping at Tesco yesterday so as it was sunny took the Z3 and noticed that the petrol station wasn't that busy so decided to fill up. A member of staff was stopping and asking each driver "Petrol or diesel?" Me: "Petrol" and the reply: "Sorry but we've got no unleaded but we have got Momentum". Me: "That'll do nicely, thank you" :D

I noticed all the prices have gone up considerably too - every little helps !!
 
Yep Badman told me he payed £1.55 pl...!!!! :-o

It won't be long till its £100 to fill up :(

Not the Momentum at our Tesco - but it looked as if diesel was up a bit.

My 5 series was down to the warning light 2 weeks ago (before the strike threat) and that was £98 to fill up.
The guy in the kiosk said they wee going to start offering re-mortgages in the near future!

I needed to fill up last Thurs morning at 6.45am and had too try 3 garages, 1st wasn't open, second there was a long queue and the third just up the road was empty of customers with the till guy reading the paper so I called in there and filled up nicely :)

Sometimes I just don't get it, like the poor sole who set herself alight in the kitchen decanting petrol next to the cooker 8-} are people really that stupid?

The garage around the corner from me jumped from 1.36 per litre up to 1.46 in one go. The owner stood outside with a massive grin on his face guiding all the cars in

Well I'm afraid if it were me, once things settle down again, that would be one garage I would be avoiding.
 
She won't get a Darwin unless she dies. Them's the rules ;) . I heard about a guy down south who was trying to fill his wheelie bin at the petrol station when the staff turned off the pumps. Not sure I believe it as it was on the TOG show on Radio 2 this morning.

Anyway, I'm starting to panic. I've got to wait four more days to wait until I can use another 2500 litres of veggie oil.

there was a guy in derby who had 90 litres stashed, some in a wheelie bin which melted and then leaked to the basement. They evacuated the whole area I think. The taxi driver claimed he didn't know petrol was so flammable. He got 8 months suspended sentence £1000 fine and it cost something like £10k for the services and cleanup, that is if the paper is to be believed.
 
thats true, my dad got held up on his way home from work back in 2000
 
This report was this week so another one!
