I waited for 10 minutes in the motorway services ( lots of pumps ) and the guy infront of me put in £11 of diesel.   :booty:

Well provided we have something to worry or panic about then anything else the government are shafting us with will just go unnoticed.  :wink:
+1. It's gotta be something very important for it to be smoked screen by fuel.

I popped into the local Shell garage to fill up (on empty). Ten car queue at 11pm and only two of the four pumps were accessible.  :stupid:
Normally at this time of night, it's either quiet or full of taxi drivers.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

No next one down just before Stonehenge on the big roundabout. It's a Shell garage whereas solstice is Co-Op. :happy2:

I filled up this morning at tesco. Not particularly busy in Hemel. I need my car to get to work, without my car I earn zero English pfennigs!!

I still maintain its the fault of the media. If they shut there traps none of this would be and issue (also the rescission would have been less severe too)

I cannot believe that it has been advised that people should go and fill there cars up and stock pile in their garages. Are they on crystal meth?

....And they have now added traffic lights on the roundabout. On the A303, East of Stonehenge, and I think it's called Countess Services.

That was my point. You wait at the lights, go fill up and wait at the lights again after! I did a naughty and turned right out of there the other day.  :laugh:

I was getting near empty so went down to the local garage and OMG!!!!  No V-Power :sad:

Had to pop to Tesco's and put some Momentum 99 in, so not a happy bunny, but it was cheaper and better than putting 95ron in.

I guess the 75 litres of Methanol will help if I get desperate. I can add 16% methanol into the tank to 95 ron to get 105 ron, but I don't really want to go there!!!
Golf R gone.

My car only has fumes in the tank, but as I have no job to go to and no money to fill it it can stay like that!

The world is full of idiots. They haven't even announced if and when the strike is going ahead, they have to give 7 days notice if they do and contingency plans are already arranged! :stupid:

The thing that makes my piss boil is its all the typical people who use bugger all fuel topping up with £5 just to have a full tank, I bet they are lucky to use a tank of fuel in a month.  :mad:
