    Thats 5 that i have tried in Derby in the last hour that have run out. All the rest have long ques out along the roads. Some one knows somthing that i dont:( The station that i filled at after waiing for 25 mins said they had about 30 mins of fuel left.
    £ days ago i fueld up my Range rover 4litr and it cost me £90 WHAT!!! 5-6 weeks ago it cost me £70+. And now i have filled up again at yet another £90. This **** that he goverment and OPEC cannot go on. And yes i do blame the bloody goverment becourse of there blatent greed with bloody 70-80% in tax on the fuel. And why?
    All these fuel hikes becourse of somthing that happend on the other side of the world in the US:( Oh and not forgetting that bloody war that bush and blair put us in. Pr1cks!!:mad: Hope this teaches the goverment a hard lesson about shaftg its own people, though i wont hold me breath:( Not with the "musnt grumble" attitude of the british people:(

    I just saw on the news that some truckers are going to start blockading the depots, although not to the extent as a few years ago.

    It could be panic buying, which if it spreads, will have the same effect.

    Couldn't believe the price of fuel in the US this week. When I was in Florida in May this year, it was just under 2 dollars. This week, I was paying 3 dollars a gallon. A 50% hike in 4 months! (Still cheaper than ours though!).

    Steve tricky one this becourse thats how it is in Derby and we are right next door to Nottingham. If ya dont fill up and waite until tomorrow then the pump may be dry. Once one station is empty in an area then word spreads and people buy. I cant see people who ave heard about closed stations, not buying tonight in the Derby/Notts area.

    Probably all fchatters who have read these posts. :D

    If there are queue's in the next couple of days, then that means the panic really has started.
