Colin-mkiv Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I filled both diesel cars up and half filled the supra. My partner works in the community and on some pretty dadgy estates. The last thing I need is for there to be no fuel and for her to either not be able to attend her (government) job or to be stranded in some godforsaken urban jungle at night.

Konrad Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 April the 5th is coming, so all gas stations getting rid of supplies - easier to do books at the end of tax year Running out of fuel ... indeed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just about all the stations in Chesterfield are dry but I know a little secret.... all of your petrol stations arn't dry many have large reserves that the government has effectively siezed for emergency vehicles. One station near me which I won't name obviously has 20,000 litres they arn't allowed to sell the general public and is reserved for emergency vehicles only even though they have big signs saying they have no fuel. One total station near me added 10p to their prices now that is disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 This country is just full of stupid people that listen to what the government have to say, think how much tax on that fuel is going into the governments pockets, its like the resection, us as the public make the resection. i.e: NEWS FLASH THERES A RESECTION. So Mr Smith doesn't buy his new Honda (in case of money issues) So Mr Marks can't buy his new TV (as he didn't make the commission on the Honda) So Mrs Caves can't buy her new bike (as she has lost her job form lack on TV sales) Then I can't modify my Supra more as I haven't sold as many bikes. ... I'm bloody sick of stupidity.. This country is run by imbeciles!! Don't blame the public for panicing as such blame the muppets that worn people about the petrol strike!!

RiceRacer Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can't help but wonder if this is a deliberate scam by the government to generate Tax revenue in order to hit the budget, just days before the end of the tax year?? Year end performance related bonus anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 As soon as I saw the words crisis and fuel in the news I immediately rushed down to my local station and completely filled the car. Took ages to fill the car via the window and most of it has leaked out and evaporated anyway but I didn't want to be caught out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 big queues at my local station yesterday, drove round all the cars and used the pay at pumps, no one was using them! Bypassed a hours queue and got fuel in 10 mins, got to be honest I felt like a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
