Sainburies 97 seems alright when I used it in the Z4, not to mention its practically on my doorstep as opposed to shell which is 15 mile round trip for Vpower.

im really baffled as to why the shell garage near me are still fine? I filled up 2 days ago, and not only did they have everything bar vpower diesel, they were the cheapest in town!

If no one HAD panic-bought - then you wouldn't have experienced the same problem - you would have found that almost all the petrol stations you passed did have fuel.

I know, but that kind of 'perfect world' doesn't exist. It only takes a few people to queue up at a petrol station to trigger this kind of cascade.

Pretty much the same situation for me - Sainsburys at the bottom of the road, Shell 20 miles up the A38. I tend to use Vpower when I'm off somewhere as I go past the Shell garage.

The supermarkets seem to be the only ones who have their act together. Esso, Texaco, BP, Shell (understandable) and Jet are now dry in this area. Sainsbury's and Tesco are both still selling.

Cyanide · 28 Jun 2008 at 10:59

Glad I'm not paying for it!

steveo · 28 Jun 2008 at 11:03

jesus cyanide is that for a tranny or 7.5ton job :confused:

James_N · 28 Jun 2008 at 11:06

I went past our local shell here and its £1.14 for unleaded. Seems somewhat a bargain.

Vauxhall Movano, but that was only 3/4 of a tank

Doonhamer · 28 Jun 2008 at 11:09

That bill is showing diesel cheaper than we get and I could probably fit almost as much into my A4 as is showing their.

romperstomper · 28 Jun 2008 at 13:37

at this rate of increase they reckon it will soon be £2 ltr ,thats like over £100 to fill your car up .
Most people probably use this in a week add running costs ,deprecation ,hp ,£150-£250 a week to run a car .
Would be interesting to see how many people can afford the luxury .

I can't say I approve of such tax evasion. None of us like paying taxes but if I have to, so should you.
