Fuel prices

[mustang5861]

Yes costs will go up, but we can’t keep paying people a pittance to do essential work.

The true price to be paid by the people of this country for Brexit, for years to come, long after BoJo has scuttled off to rake in the wonga making speech after speech peddling lie after lie about the glorious future that awaits this country as part of a New Dawn that is sure to be their 'reward' for allowing themselves to be taken in by the jibber-jabber, flim-flam and bullsh*t of a man who truly believes himself to be the modern-day incarnation of Winston Churchill - or should that be Moses leading his people to the Promised Land?

Apparently Tanker drivers already earn £70K pa so I was told, not checked that myself

The Esso garage near Folly rd has petrol but I couldn't be arsed to queue. Still nothing at Brandon.

Was lucky last night, coming back from Holbeach range we hit the Shell garage on the A17 at West Lynn. They had received fuel the previous night. Had no queue, just drove straight to a pump and filled up. At least I can get the hire car back to Waltham Abbey now!

Apparently before Brexit 11% of HGV drivers in the UK were from the EU - this has reduced, but just to 10% so not too significant a reduction?

The little quaint petrol station at Mallwyd in the Mach Loop was the on the news last night. Petrol very low there, glad I'm not in the loop wanting to top up to get home !!

[slogen51]

Managed to fill up with only a short queue - still nothing in Brandon unless they ran out again.

got fuel in Asda yesterday, in and out in 10 mins or so.... only realised at the pump all they had was E10 ....

pumps capped at £30 per fuel, didn't stop people filling up jerry cans anyway

I'm picking up a new car in Bristol on Saturday. Hope they put enough fuel in it to at least get me home - preferably via Fairford if......

[Contrail1958]

Decided to abort a petrol stop and get Toilet Rolls instead. Must think ahead and
all that. Madness all round but do we have too.
Troops coming in. As a tax payer, why should my Pongo help a private company
make profit ???

as soon as someone says Dont Panic why do idiots panic??

[Nighthawke]

It's because they're idiots!

[jimbo]

Because the media keep reporting it. Navigation app Waze added fuel availability to their notifications, PRA keeping banging on about things not getting better. So many agendas at play that we’re doomed.

The garages have got this wrong. Instead of limiting people to '£30 only' at the pumps, they should specify a MINIMUM of £30 only, to stop these people coming in for the odd 2 gallons. People will then come in only when they need it, and like the States, pay you're money before you can pump!.

[Mike Bridge]

Well said, it should be a minimum of £30 spend at the pumps, and no cans to be filled, the legal amount of fuel you can store is 30 litres in an approved container and in cool conditions without sources of ignition

My brother who is HGV trained (retired) got a letter the other day from DVLA asking if he would like to do a bit of driving due to the 'crisis' and effects of Covid

I am afraid I must disagree. A maximum of £30 yes, that would help to reduce the greed of some; a minimum of £30 will only serve to make the supply run out again.
