CaptC Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 East Cornwall - no diesel and prices have risen to £1.51 (with no diesel) My daughter "down west" says the same - her words "Greedy thoughtless morons" Reference toilet rolls and their possible shortage, role on Spring for those large dock leaves?

strimmer_13 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Panic here again. Dumb *****. Stations selling out, but the price has come down, last week it was £1.57, today its £1.54. On another note, my mate decided to do the pump while i paid as we got caught really short on thursday and i paid this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hiya Last Wed/Thu no diesel at a large Tesco Superstore, q-ing from Sainsbury's onto the adjacent roundabout (on an A-road)......... I usually put in 20litres, last 2weeks, but put in 30 as didnt want to be using fuel to find fuel if 'Muppets' all filled to the brim unnecessarily. To be clear, I only use vehicle(s) for work purposes as all else is walking distance! L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I dont play the shortage game any more its great being retired as long as theres some fuel in the truck if i need it that will do free bus just gets more use , in fact using the bus pass even saves £3.50 parking charge in the town LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I fill the truck and run it to nearly empty, today was the day it needed filling. local esso was £1.553 per litre saw a few packed forecourts late last week but not seen any empty pumps or madness like last time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I always brim my truck, cant see the point in putting in odd drips and drops. Anybody know how long you can keep diesel for in an IBC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I put 20 litres of diesel in at £1.70/litre. Normally always go from red light flashing, zero mile warning to an inverse meniscus under the filling cap but I baulked at the price and was only going to Manchester and back. Since been to Sainsbury and M&S fuel stations (looking for a fresh lemon) but didn’t fill up as I wasn’t on zero. Only now I have realised that there is a fuel shortage. Last time I accidentally missed it as both cars were filled just before it started. Going to run it to zero in the next few days to make sure I can fully partake in the madness this time.
