""WHY"" is everyone panic buying fuel

There are big queue's in derby and it's reported that 2 stations are dry.<br><br>I popped out the office and filled up our spare van and the cashier said it's mostly older people who usually fill up once a month are brimming their cars.<br><br><br>

Fuel sales up yesterday by 81% more money in the government coffers

<P>We are all out of fuel around here and its just rediculous.. even at 7am this morning there where lines of traffic just to get into one station </P> <P>&nbsp;</P>

That's how the government like it, People lining up to give them money so they in turn can&nbsp; give it to countries like India and Brazil who have bigger economies than us anyway.<br>

Well last time we kept goin cos we had an accout with [business] on the airport...this time we haven't.<div>Bleedin daft....there is no date for the f**** strike yet</div>

But bet we run out before it happens anyway I heard on radio today that Dorset police had forced garages to close for a while because of the panic.</div><div><br></div><div>He goes on tv an says &nbsp;don't panic but fill up containers what did he think would happen, an this is the guy elected to run a country!</div>

That's where you are wrong Doo Moves.<br><br>They have organised the brewery side of things and are looking at a minimum price per unit of alcohol.<br><br>See they have organised fleecing joe public very efficeintly.<br>

1.90 exeter services this morning!!!!!!!!<div>What is wrong with these idiots... that isnt even a date for the POSSIBLE strike yet!!!!!!!!!</div>

The irish had a brilliant idea during the last fuel shortage (not a joke!!). They had a MINIMUM sale of about three quarters of a tank full. This stopped dickheads topping up their tanks every 5 minutes and stopped garages running out of fuel cos most cars weren't running around with full tanks all the time.

Sorry. meant nearly empty tanks....!!

sorry again. I DID mean full tanks. I'm going loopy!!
