Big ques last night at the petrol stations near me. And one of those is a 99.9p UL (and was 1.01 last week).

Antonye - nip out and get us a couple of jerry cans full, (for the bike of course).

Every station on my way home from Manchester to Warrington (22miles)was queueing last night.
What's the problem? If I got no fuel, I don't go to work.

Apparently its illegal to transport more than 10 litres of fuel without a licence? I still have a 5 litre can full from Brands which I might sell off on ebay.

Actually, you could always try these people:

The point being that just as you can buy any motorcycle you like, they can buy any car they like. Get over it.

BTW, petrol is 91.9 at our local supermarket and there wasn't much of a queue this morning either.

Sorry,
Was a light heated comment no offence ment

3rd track day in two mounths on the red one.

Thats cheap it's up around 94.9 to 99.9 around here.

No problem - just pointing out the hypocrisy of your statement

For some reason the big supermarkets here have kept their petrol low. Most expensive I've seen was just off the A12 at an Esso statio for 95.9 a litre which still isn't ridiculous.

Did I miss the news then???
so that's why there was a big queue at the petrol stations!...
(back to the what women say thread!)
Seeing as I'm running on fumes at the mo best leave work early and get to a petrol station...oh and check the news!:P

Titchfield this morning, only super doopa unleaded, normal sold out, abd every petrol station I've seen in Pompey has now got no unleaded, or £20 only signs, or sold out. As Alan says, once it runs out, no fuel in car, can't go to work, not that we're gonna run out, because they have said their not gonna stop the lorries. Don't ya love panic buyers, and funny enough, I also saw an rsole in an X5 filling 3 jerry cans of fuel on Sunday in Fareham.

Good price that, think some are cashing in on it a little, is there another one close by, price matching etc
