Here in Horwich I put £10 in yesterday at 2pm as I had only 56 miles left in the tank.They have sold out last night at both the Texaco garages and also at Tesco`s . Why are people panic buying-the oil refineries are not being blockaded its just a protest as far as I understand it. Diane:)) |

Well said Baby Butterfly, folk do not seem to realise that the tanker drivers are not striking they will be working flat out to keep up with demand, if everyone had carried on as normal no stations would have run out. xxhugxx |

and u can bet your life when the poor tanker drivers do finally get onto the forecourt(after having to queue,oh the irony) they will be shouted at for not getting there sooner |

its a vicious circle really - as soon as people see a queue, they think there is a problem and join it, then others do the same and before you know it - SOLD OUT ! |

Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, local BP and independant garage all within a couple of miles radius of me in Coventry have run out. :o( Unfortunately I didn't take it too seriously and rush to panic buy, so consequently I have now run out and hubby's car (the one with the full tank of course) has just broken down.........going nowhere tonight then.

Claire If you syphon it off remember to stop sucking when the petrol gets to the end of the hosepipe, unless you want to take up fire eating |
