Answer 1

Yes, same here: I travelled 60 miles yesterday, only one shell station closed, but at Morrison's, it was like Mad Max, people queueing, pushing in, filling containers etc.,

Nobs!

Answer 2

Woo Hoo, My fella went to try and get diesel last night, he went to about 5 garages before he could get any, WTF??? I find it funny though Dreamer, especially now that the strikes off! PMSL

Answer 3

Plenty of the Great British Public.

Answer 4

No we have not queued just to top up on petrol but we always keep the tank topped up anyway because my elderley mother-in-law lives 2 counties away and we don't know when we will have to bomb up there for her.

Answer 5

I haven't used any more than usual - but I do use a lot as I do a lot of miles between home and the parents/in-laws so that they can see their grandson.  I also use a lot of fuel for work so the tank is nearly always full.

Answer 6

no not us!!

Answer 7

not me.

however, i do need to cut the grass and this involves going to the garage to get 3 gallon cans of petrol. i will not do that because people might think i'm panic buying - what a whimp eh ???

i normally buy 3 cans every 2 weeks, but people are very sensitive this week and might assume i'm panic buying and i really don't want any forecourt "discussions".

Answer 8

I filled up as normal. No problems. However the cost of fuel is going up so fast i am inclined to fill again as soon as I get get a couple of gallons in
