To Those Panic Buying Petrol

[grr666]

I agree it is spot checked but mainly on commercial vehicles. Nobody is going to look twice at some old dude (Sorry PB...) in a Jag.

The only station of the eleven within 4 miles of me that is shut is a Texaco station, a few Shell have reduced pumps, but still in stock all the rest have plenty of fuel, only two stupid queues, but the rest are slightly busier than normal, but nothing special.

The same old story, if you just filled up with your normal shopping style then all will be fine.

Just back from work related trip to Whitby and it seemed normal there, no more than 4 or 5 waiting to get to pumps at bigger ones anyway.
Traffic less than normal it felt like mild stages of lockdown.

What's prices like around your way guys? Just had to pay £1.60 a litre (30 quid max) for diesel here

Diesel was 135p in Whitby which is always a bit dear being a touch remote. They haven't put it up.

We travelled down to Wales on Thursday. Our local stations were closed or had big queues. The ones on the M56 and A55 had some diesel pumps closed and queues.

Found a small place in Wales and filled up as the Toyota hi lux beside us was also filling up… a 1000ltr container (the type in a metal cage).

I’m sure it’ll sort itself out when they’ve relaxed working visas and made the HGV licences easier plus an extension of driving hours.
So long as it’s sorted for Christmas I’ll be happy.

It should sort itself out pretty quickly, given that most people can't hoarde huge supplies of it (unlike spare bedrooms full of bog roll) coupled with the fact that there isn't actually a supply problem - I would think that it [stupidity] will stabilise by the end of the week, people will have full tanks and the queues will subside.

Conspiracy theory doing the rounds is that BP were sat on "old" fuel and wanted it gone. Hence causing this "Fuel shortage".

I get oil companies are shitty, shitty entities, but I don't think they have that much sway... yet. May well have given them ideas though.

I read somewhere that scientists had discovered an isotope of two molecules in petrol/gasoline can be utilised to manufacture a new covid 19 vaccine.

37% of U.K. supplies were diverted to a lab someplace just North of Southampton.

E10 came in about a month ago.
Petrol lasts at least 6 months even not in a sealed container.
Theres barely 2 months storage for fuel in the uk.

The whole thing about fuel going off is more bollocks than the covid/5g thing.

EDIT: Last year I didnt use a tank full for the best part of 9 months. I had no issues with fuelling in that time but my battery died.

They don't do the summer/winter diesel thing now it has additives all year round as it was too easy to have fuel mixed and only good to say -5 rather than -10 for UK
