Is it time to panic buy and stockpile petrol?

[TheBoyBilly]

£90 to fill my 4x4 (not that I ever let it run to anywhere near empty) It's just my way of helping cut New Labour's* debt....

60l tank on mine, and £1.33 for the 'posh' petrol. Only put £20 in - that will last me a while - just short of 15l - eek. Shame you can't run a car on own brand lemonade !!

You can have my share - I'll never need any!

With a 2.3 litre Mercedes I might well take you up on that. However, I only use it once or twice a week and next weeks 250 mile round trip is being paid for by a large national cycling organisation

As a child during the fuel crisis, we needed to go to a family funeral in Northern Ireland. Dad filled a container with petrol, took it with us and left it behind a wall in a layby in Scotland on route, and then collected it on the way back down again a week later to fill it up for the homeward journey. I think that is the only time we have ever stashed petrol.

Lefty Nancies? You Sir, are an arse.

The AA joined the swelling ranks of driving groups urging the government to scrap a rise in fuel duty.A spokesman said: 'The motorist is going to have to brace himself for a storm.

This sort of thing does annoy me. People pay the AA for breakdown cover, not political lobbying.

of course because battery manufacture and the raping of the earth for the materials for batteries doesn't pollute at all.

and its a Toyota pious

Why?


I've got a litre in the garage for my multi-fuel stove and misc. cleaning tasks ... that'll last for the foreseeable future

I've got my average monthly fuel use down to about 30l, so that bit isn't too bad. The problem area is the effect on the price of everything else.

And how would you conceal it so that the marauding zombie hordes of BMW drivers couldn't find it?

To be fair, we now have 'Efficient Dynamics' (OK, its a crappy marketing speak name), so will be using much less than many other drivers, including many 'environmentally unfriendly' hybrids, no wonder we forget to indicate, we are just so relaxed!

Don't worry we still .... have ash closets.

Ash closets? You were spoiled rotten. We used to dream of ash closets etc etc

We should just stop selling it to people in the north

The midlands can do without (except for northerners living her). Send the midlands back to the dark ages. It'd take about ten minutes. We can have a proper north/south divide. If we scupper the midlands, everyone wins.

Only joking.

never buy the stuff!

According to the RAC, it's 18% cheaper to run a car than 20 years ago. So although the price of fuel has gone up, everything else has gone up more. That's one statistic I'll enjoy telling the car whingers.
