Muppets

Queued up 20mins to fill my car up on weds night, half hour last night to fill the company car. Prices have gone way up and i bet they wont come down. Today some of the local towns have run out completely.

List of muppets:
Cameron
The jerry can twit
The retards queuing up to put £16.51 in so they've got a full tank.
lorry drivers who get paid shed loads.
Unions

F..king dooshnozzles the lot of them.

Price of petrol at supermarket: £1.33.9 a litre.

Price of petrol at only place that has it around me: £1.46.9 a litre.

1. Anyone storing petrol in jerry cans or "topping up" should be shot... with a tank.
2. Garages raising the goddamn prices sky high should be shot... with a tank.

Bastards.

They reckon enough profit will be earned on fuel this weekend to push the country up 0.1% GDP and technically out of a double dip recession.

Perhaps one of you City businessmen can confirm this.

I don't need to travel anywhere, but as I was almost empty earlier I thought I'd fill up but lo and behold all four local petrol stations are emptied out and the price is up at 137.9 everywhere. So basically I can't use the car this weekend at all if I wanted to because of moronic, selfish knobbers. I hope more people start distilling petrol in their kitchens next to open flames.

most of the stations near me are closed, fleet services out of diesel this morning.. wtf ppl! theres not even a strike or any disruption to supply.

Luckily the 530d has a decent range or i'd be in some trouble! I'll be reduced to not driving at all soon if demand doesnt reduce. Stupidly brought a crisis on without any actual problem!

This is why it pays to have an economic car available, lots of miles per litre = long time between refills

Had to pay £1.51 yesterday for enough fuel to get me back to my house. Only fuel anywhere seems to be the Ultimate ranges.

Hopefully with the strike called off supplies will start to build up again before Easter.

I managed to fill the tank yesterday at Asda, the only reason I filled it too being that prices are set to rise even further £50 for about 35L is bad enough

I pay £ 1.41533 a liter for diesel, quite steep

that would be £ 49.5 for 35L.

After spending a week in Europe I returned to find the "fuel crisis". Pretty annoying as my car was on its warning light before we left, leaving me no choice but to find fuel on Sunday to make sure I could get to work on Monday.

Of the 7 or 8 garages I drove past only one had fuel. They advertised it on their big price thing as 138.9 a litre, but when you began filling it was actually 146.9. I was sorely tempted to take some kind of photo showing the price difference in the same shot and then sending it to trading standards, pretty sure that was illegal.

After getting rid of the Mazda 3 which cost about £60 to fill and did about 320 miles, I ended up putting just over £50 in the Mazda 2, which supposedly will do ~450 miles to the tank. Would have been nice if it cost less to fill the first time

Mine costs about £70 to fill and I get ~250 miles.
