It's ok everyone. I panic bought last night and have a full tank of fuel. I half less then 1/4 tank and needed it. No queue last night. All petrol stations are rammed and running out in Stratford/Warwick. A few have closed towards Solihull already. I shall be sure to keep the car topped up when ever possible. I refuse to queue.

DO you go down the warwick road a lot scotty? what's the shell garage like?
That's where I always go, but might have to fill up down here in Minehead then crawl back at 50mph to save fuel

I got called a useless waste of good petrol last night buy some old geeza..he turn round and got in a old range rover..it's horrible living in Norfolk..as soon as the oldies round here get as much of a sent of some sort of fuel related issues they dust off their mint 1990 rovers with 3k on clock and brim it..take it back to the garage and cover it up again I seriously saw one man fill up with £7 because his tank was already full..He then filled 4 jerry cans of the stuff..I'm sorry but how much driving can a 60-70 year old man do in a mint condition p reg Polo..

I swear half the petrol sold in the last 3 days is sitting in garages in Norfolk in cars that do about 1k miles a year if there lucky..

Rant over

No that's what the ministers think..thry also said everyone should up jerry cans..

The government is stupid.

If everyone had carried on filling up as usual all this wouldn't of happened
