has anybody else found a shortage, (swmbo) went to to fill her skate board up (KA) onlly to find pumps run dry at BP filling station on Main A43 at brackley northants is it the wrong kind of snow for tanker drivers or are we still on xmas shut down.
-
Perhaps I should put some full jerricans on ebay :wink: , no probs up hear
-
yeah most garages round this way dont seem to have unleaded, got plenty of diesal so i aint bothered yet
-
the BP was shut last week for repairs at night, so might just be crap at sorting out their usage of fuel:)
-
Shortage caused by that explosion, followed by seasonal peak usage.
Should take day or two to sort out according to B.B.C.

Went to fill up Last Friday at the Asda hypemarket in Watford, where there are four petrol stations on the roundabout. (Jct A41 and A412 St Albans rd) Asda, Shell, Sainsburys and Total I think.
Total always too expensive, the others always match each other.
Shell out of unleaded so had to use Asda, was useing Shell to test the theory that you get more milage from shell etc. than from supermarket fuel.

just viewed early evening news they say due to refinery fire its possible some aera's will experience shortages best i get my 5 jerry cans full of fuel and to those who have tried suppermarket fuel i have found i get less MPG from this fuel than say shell,mobile, or bp i have been informed that suppermarket fuel is the cast off of the big boys(doesn't meet the grade) they expect.
-
um... it's all the same fuel
and please don't go and fill up a load of Jerry cans... it'll just prolong the problem... people panic buying causes as many problems as anything.

my local shell station is out of petrol today.
-
we had a few days of no fuel locally last week but all back to normal now :D
