The Restorer Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 No issues in Ireland. Well... actually Shell had been bought out and although they never did 98RON VPower, they did used to do VPower. My local Shell has moved over this week. Now it's going to be just the standard stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked on some news websites and one bloke was boasting that he filled up both his and his wife's car today even though they're not going to be driving anywhere for at least a week Yea i know what you mean but you are in a no win situation, everyone is going to panic buy and if you dont do the same then you end up with no petrol because everyone else has run the stations dry:( So i filled up my 3 cars, 1 motorbike and all my petrol cans just incase:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 My wife rang me at work during the week and told me she'd seen the tanker driver strike on the news, so I should fill up on the way home. So I did. I figured I'd use wifes car for the weekend, keeping my fuel for next week if things dont improve. So, guess whos got an empty tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I filled up as usual due to running on fumes. I hope the shortage ends by the time I next need to fill up. Sometime around the end of the month! You gotta love diesels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 What?! 10 litres = £5 of fuel, if that! 10 litres @ 120.9/ltr = £12.09, not a fiver? Am I missing something? *cue bed time for me* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ok round here but the nearest Shell station is 10-12miles away from me. Doesn't the Shell deliveries resume on Tuesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 10 litres @ 120.9/ltr = £12.09, not a fiver? Am I missing something? *cue bed time for me* I was guess-timating, you're probably right but either way, its bugger all petrol! Anyway, £120.9 is good! Im currently paying £123.9 and that went up 2p in a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
