Petrol

[Guest]

Thought my nearest garage was bad. The BBC found a garage selling unleaded at £2.08! Oh well. If people have any sense they'll go somewhere else after the problem's sorted and serve the greedy b****r right! Betcha a lot of them won't move though as habits are sometimes hard to break.

Fill up in Jersey Dave. No queues, no panic prices no change.

Damn I sold the car. Tank full.

But to a Grandson my taxi.

Tis the human race Dave. Also commercial practice.

Shortage of carrots to sell. Sell those you have at a higher price. Turkey are going to go up in price for Christmas same conspiracy.

Need a Wellington Bomber model or as I found a Dart Herald you will now pay two or three times the original going rate.

Sell your stuff on Ebay & you charge what others will pay. Supply & demand.

After all many have not much petrol to sell but still retain staff. Many have convenience shops yet nobody in them but still pay the staff.

Last time we had a fuel shortage, it was due to a tanker drivers strike. The government passed an order that only cars with even last digit could be driven one day and those with odd last digit in the registration the next.
My cars reg. ended with a 9, my wife's with a 4. We worked at the same place so didn't bother us a bit. It did work to an extent.
Still have two cars and need them both. Living in the countryside, as Al wrote, a car is not an optional luxury.

It's dollar for dollar here which is one sixth of that pump stations price I think after conversion.
