Petrol Crisis MkII?

[Horace Goes Skiing]

"Mr Swinney said there were significant reserves available but he urged people not to go out and panic buy."

Swinney = politician = liar

PANIC BUY!

*fills bath, sink and washing machine with petrol*

 

[Tetedelacourse]

I'm off out RIGHT NOW to get some diesel!

You jest, but weren't there stories last time (the tanker drivers strike) of people hoarding petrol in buckets in sheds...

Still, it'll be great fun, might start going out doing laps of the city to laugh at people queueing at garages...

Genius! I'll charge up the air-zound so they know I'm pointing and laughing.

I'm surprised no one knew this was coming sooner. What with the rash closures of petrol stations that have been happening over the last 2-3 years and the hike in prices. It begs to think who is the fool in all this? the mass companies or the consumer? get off your fat lazy arse and walk or cycle.

And why has it taken nearly 100 years for cars to be fueled by something other than oil? Why? because the governments don't want to lose out on people spending money on highly taxed petrolium and spending it on non taxable water

Still if this does turn into a fully fledged fuel crisis, I'll wager the Police will start dipping diesel tanks.

As long as you don't use more than 2000 litres a year of the veg oil then its totally legal.

It's not something I have done so far but now I am seriously considering doing so.

How do they police that then? I've just bought a diesel van.

But what if we run-out of chain-lube

Given that you'd be using vegetable oil in abundance, I would imagine it would be policed by the British version of this lot

Cor, that takes me back.

it is possible to run a car on veg oil, you need to thin it out with petrol

you can get the forms to fill in to pay fuel duty on the veg oil, it still works out a lot cheaper than buying diesel
however my friend's car has now died from doing so.

That's far from encouraging, but thanks anyway.

This is a classic...

"We believe that this is a dispute that should be resolved," a spokeswoman for No 10 said.

OK the company makes a financial decision about it’s pension arrangements, but in the end it’s the government that seem to have done most to put pensions into the mess that they’re in.

Panic buying in support for the Grangemouth employees.
