panic buying fuel

[Deleted]

just been to fill my little scooter up it only take 4.5 litres first stop all out second stop people queing like crazy even one had the cheek to stick £80.00 in tank then pulled 8 yes 8 green cans and filled them up.
luckilly enough while he was paying i was able to get between pump and fill my 4.5 litres and will do around 115 miles on that,while the car behind had to wait for the other driver to come back after paying and i was already off now who say's I look stupid on a 50cc scooter

[Karma]

it's not been too bad here We have both been paid so filled up both cars, didn't have to wait long

The problem is, my tank will do me no prob for the month but hubby's will only last 2 weeks, if that

Hubby is still smoking and we had a bottle of wine tonight and he had a couple of beers.......... how much money have we just given to the government

Just heard it on the news about the prospective fuel shortage

It didn't help whe the Prime Minister told people NOT to panic buy, let's face it, who trusts a word the government say?

It's mad eh. Luckily we filled up yesterday, I hope they don't strike as we have a lot of travelling to do next week. If they do though then I guess we are lucky as our car will run on veg oil

We are in the scooter club also, but to be honest hardly use it bit silly really tut

I have a little v-clic that i took the restriction plate off, at the most get 40mph out of it the only reason it needed deristricting was to keep to the flow of traffic as the speed limit is max 40 on the roads i go to work on. thats all i use it for 10 mile there 10 miles back daily it has saved me a fortune since i bought it last year and for less than £1000 new 2 yr warranty not mot for 3 years service it myself and using less than £5 pw in fuel "lovin it" hehe

I hardly use my scooter either, think it's only got 200 miles on it and it's nearly 3 years old now.
