dont panic!

<< < (2/5) > >>

Ben:
Sainsbury's on the Wyvern in Derby was stupid as well - people couldn't get into the retail park from that end because of the queuing!

It doesn't help that most garages in the area are charging 97.9 - 99.9 for diesel, and Sainsbury's have been selling theirs at 95.9 a litre. However, the price differential's been there for ages!

I understand that there'll be "go slow" on the motorways. All I can say is "Bring It On". If they can keep the M1 moving in the mornings at anything above the normal 30-40mph I'm up for that! Perhaps we'll end up with sensible variable speed limits if the "trial" works  :wink:

I guess I'm a bit smug at the moment (although not by choice). Since the 90 was nicked, I've been driving the golf all the time - 55mpg makes a big difference to the number of miles per tankful - around 550 instead of the 200 I could squeeze out of the 90!

Cheers

Ben

Last time I topped up my quad, it took £2.63.  Will I have to take my Gerry Can next time, and buy more than I actually need?

Digsit:
This action has been threatened for weeks. Why do these idiots insist on panic buying at the last minute :?

I filled Charity up at the weekend and parked her up. Decided to give the MTB a bit more use and loving every minute :twisted:  :wink:

Thrasher:
Hmmm...I get 500 miles to a tank ;-) and that's a 4.4 V8

TimM:
I've heard that this will only last for 3 days - which if so means that most people out there don't need to panic anyway.

When I normally fill up, I fill it completely which is more like 3 weeks worth than 3 days, so I wouldn't panic myself (except I'm nearly out in both my vehicles!).

Queues are growing round here too, unfortunately like it or not, I'm going to be forced to join one.
