have you tried signing up to petrol prices.com
they can tell you the nearest stations and the cheapest - then from there you could find their numbers and call the ones within 6 miles and check if they have any??

I drove to the station this morning... put some diesel in... though there was no unleaded. Stupid panic buyers.

I used an entire tank of unleaded in the VXR overnight! Filled it up at work, cost me nuffin!

Now my own car, that has 230 miles left and I'm getting 55 to 60 mpg out of it, so hopefully, all will be well.

And this article really annoyed me. The companies make a fortune, yet have the bare faced cheek to put prices up like that! I know it's supply and demand etc, yada yada yada, but I found it offensive.

well, if theres no fuel round here......all i have to do is transfer the battery into the other SV....et voila.....full tank of petrol!! so I ain't too bothered yet. I'm off out later so I'll see if theres a station on the way. I've been asleep all weekend so have been blissfully unaware of whats been going on in the news
