Fuel Prices

couldn't get into the stations here - everyone lined up out of the forecourts - i dont understand, 1 tankful isnt going to make bugger all difference if we run out.
I took mum to airport yesterday, 4hr round trip, helped her right up to as far as I could go but mrs got a message that said mum had tried to get to Marrakech not Manchester luckily they didn't let her on I was out pricing so mrs went to collect her .... thats our tankful gone

I don't think the storm is going to pass anytime soon. Certainly not in 400L time!

Mate got a price for bulk Derv. Was more than forecourt!

That can happen in times like this. Opposite in 'cheaper' times. Reason being that the bulk deliveries track the price of oil more closely.

It means he's got an honest local forecourt, who don't put the price up until they get the next delivery. Yes, they do exist, despite popular opinion. The local garage is run by Sri Lankans, hes was a jolly nice chap and didn't put the price up until I'd filled my barrel last time I was there (as the tanker arrived). So even if he's a penny more than the BP I will use him in future.
