Default So I didn't panick buy and

There is no bloody diesel to be had. Car computer says I have 6 miles left. Dare I go out trying other filing stations. I have tried all in about a 3 mile radius.

During the fuel blockade, we were able to fill as "essential workers" but they used the motorway service at their exorbitant prices

I didn't panic buy either. I was perfectly calm as I filled up both cars and the bike. And I'm glad I did cos Sainbos are out of fuel this morning. The BP station nearby is not but they're 5p a litre pricier.

We filled up the car on Saturday as it was getting low. Nowhere in Yeovil had any Diesel at all yesterday.

Its the people that are panic buying hyped up by the media scaremongering that have caused the actual fuel shortage.

Hmm. just realise that plod no longer have their own tanks of fuel and must use the filing stations as well.

Are they going to be ordered back walking to the beat. or just sit in the canteen waiting for jobs that justify using the reserves of fuel in their tanks?
