Oh Sh17!!!!!

My friend summed it up perfectly today it's the thick as **** gullible idiots sitting on the forecourt to fill there tanks so that the car can sit there all week doing nothing! The people that have a filling up routine etc are suffering by having to wait for these idiots to get filled and go home to listen to what the government wants them to do next I would love to believe it will, but I know it won't make diddly squat to the price of petrol

The strike is to do with pay and work conditions and nothing to do with prices...

I was on fumes and had to go hunter-gathering for super unleaded because of all the people panicing. The only good thing was that because everyone was at the local Tesco distress to buy petrol when they really wanted to be eating dinner, the queue in the shop was the smallest it's ever been

My dad lives near Christchurch in Dorset and the police closed all the petrol stations after the queues became a danger. FFS

I filled my A4 up last night as it was on fumes and drove past 5 of what id call my usual filling places and each one there forecourts were packed and huge queues and this was at 8pm bloooody ridiculous!! in the end filled up at a quieter place in the country where they only v power left £1.559 a litre for diesel

The bloody idiots are still queueing this morning! Don't they realise that this is all self inflicted, there isn't even a shortage yet....

I hate the public sometimes....

i went and put £20 in my car yesterday as the light was nearly burnt out never mind on lol had to que too, bet evryone thought i was the idiot for not brimming the tank haha

Fair enough it's a stupid thing to do by brimming your tank but if you don't they won't be any left for when you do need it, so sometimes you just have to follow the crowd. But I bet all the people on here that have said its stupid have done the same ha ha

[Christophski]

I brimmed my tank after driving around with the light on but then again thats how I always do it

Just tried filling today at the BP in Farnham and they had run out of Premium unleaded. I am amazed that supplies have run out so quickly - do drivers normally drive on empty tanks? I would really like to know how much additional petrol has been bought over and above the usual.

[Christophski]

I read somewhere that the AA have done some quick research and it indicates something like 3 days worth of petrol has been sold in under 3 hours at the moment. Stupid really isnt it?

[Big Lee M]

I think a lot of garages will have smaller tanks for suck as V-power and Ultimate compared to normal unleaded, garage near me had run out of V-power before normal unleaded?

[QuattroFever]

so when they said fill jerry can's...do you have to stand in the que with a jerry can. What a tit you would look.

A lot of the small retailers can not afford to fill their stock tanks (a cost of around £250k) so they only keep in stock, around £30k in fuel
