[News] There's no need to panic buy petrol

[Iggle Piggle]

It's just taken Mrs Crodo 90 (ninety) minutes to fill up her Vauxhall Nova at the local independent garage. Just who are these selfish people desperate to fill up?

Best use of "Vauxhall Nova" since the GLC

Vauxhall Novas are worth a lot of money these days, especially if you have an SR/GSi/GTE. Would have one over some boring jelly mould econobox any day.

*Has minor easily survivable crash if he were in a modern day car and dies*

From what Crodo has been saying though the fuel economy doesn’t seem great.
Think I will look elsewhere for my next car.

Not the most expensive petrol costs in the world but as of June we ranked 152 / 167, but with the recent shenanigans that position may have dropped further whilst petrol stations are price gouging customers

Oil prices are going up because of switching from gas. Brent Crude hit $80 today. It’s not surprising that petrol prices are going up.

I know some petrol stations have imposed a £30 maximum, but has anywhere imposed a MINIMUM spend to stop people repeatedly topping up? That would help, wouldn't it?

Maximum spend of £30......would surely make queues worse as would soon have to queue up again !!

Got petrol today in Eastbourne ASDA and there was £30 max spend. Bloke in front got £30 jumped back in and moved car forward 5 yards to next pump and tried to get another £30. Builder type bloke on adjacent pump sussed this out and started to give him stick rightly pointing out that half the problem was people like him. Bloke tried to play dumb but then forecourt staff member came over and whipped his card out of the machine and thrust it back in his hand. Her intervention was timely as builder was getting more agitated. When I spoke to her she claimed that he would not have been able to get more petrol even with different card on a different pump.

It's not just the car though. I would imagine Mrs Crodo is a bit racy

Anyone know if Tesco Holmbush has fuel at the moment?

I don't need any fuel but want to do my grocery shopping and don't want to get stuck in fuel queues.

My car is currently sat on my parent's drive way 20 miles away because I couldn't get fuel after picking it up last Saturday from the dealer and it having 0 miles left so needs to be a local station to there. So I'm going to keep calling the people who don't need it but are queueing anyway selfish ****.

I'll need fuel in the next couple of days and not sure how to go about it.

Considering driving a loop through haywards heath out to chailey on the a272 as I'll pass 4 garages. My worry is sitting in a queue to find there's no Diesel.

Also considering going very early or very late, has anyone had any success with either or is it completely luck of the draw?

 

[Fat Boy Fat]

Well I'm doing my bit, I currently have just under half a tank of fuel and don't need to fill up before next Friday, when I go on holiday.

Here's hoping my integrity doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

Just read this in the Telegraph. Maybe I'll just hold out another couple of days.

'Early signs' the fuel crisis is ending, says petrol group
The Petrol Retailers Association said there are "early signs" the fuel crisis is ending.

Executive director Gordon Balmer said: "There are early signs that the crisis at pumps is ending, with more of our members reporting that they are now taking further deliveries of fuel.

"Fuel stocks remain normal at refineries and terminals, although deliveries have been reduced due to the shortage of HGV drivers.

"We have conducted a survey of our members this morning and only 37% of forecourts have reported being out of fuel today. With regular restocks taking place, this percentage is likely to improve further over the next 24 hours."
