Well they are queueing to fill their tanks when there is no need at all to panic buy fuel. So yes they are numpties.
Some people still need fuel without panic buying...

Why would sales go up to 500% of their usual levels unless people were buying more fuel than they normally would and would normally use? Panic buying is the sign of a numpty. Think about the toilet rolls...
People aren’t driving 500% more miles. Probably less if anything. Those with full tanks now want to sit on it like a squirrel and not use it.Why would sales go up to 500% of their usual levels unless people were buying more fuel than they normally would and would normally use?

I think you're missing the point a bit.Why would sales go up to 500% of their usual levels unless people were buying more fuel than they normally would and would normally use? Panic buying is the sign of a numpty. Think about the toilet rolls...

Yes, people are panic buying - but you don't know WHICH people are panic buying. Filling up with fuel doesn't mean you're panic buying. In the same way that buying toilet rolls didn't mean you were panic buying.
Doubt it, power cuts are next.Probably best to keep the petrol chat to the petrol thread
I do wonder whether it's goign to give a little push to EV adoption though

No sure if that was a troll post BUT, there will be no power cuts.Doubt it, power cuts are next.
Not a troll. Just a mild attempt at humour. There have been warnings about them. And yes I’m fully aware pumps need electric. But I’m not 10yrs old arguing about mega drive vs SNES like a lot of people seem to replicate with ICE vs EV discussions.No sure if that was a troll post BUT, there will be no power cuts.
However IF there are it will mean there is no fuel either and powercuts affect pumps too

63mpg (long trips) and 52mpg (city)- what are you driving which is so good on fuel?my current car is doing around 27km/L on long trips and 22km/l in the cities

I used to get 70mpg on a quiet summer drive to work (20 miles) with my 520d but over 32k miles the average was 47mpg.My partners Volvo v40 D2 used to get that.

This long term average put's a replacement new EV in the 3 year pollution benefit bracket.
Defo worth looking at the long term average mpg rather than individual special trips.
