Just filled up at a Morrisons drove straight on the pumps,ok it was just after they opened,now off for a decent 300 mile round trip today,had to fill up as only had 220 in the tank and could not be certain of filling up when I got there.last night the head guy at Morrisons said we have no shortage of fuel and will remain open and it looks like he is right.

Then whisky and Buckie are bound to follow

We definitely need more Buckfast in England! Amazing stuff and no need for the class As with that either

Yep, always up early.

It pays in times of panic buying

Now spend the whole day driving around to empty to tank so you can fill up once more.

Typically eldest had nothing in her car but was off to Essex to see boyfriend last evening
So took her car to drop cost centre number 2 back to college after lunch and put £30 in it as I feared that this side of Southampton would have gone 'all daily mail' as we refer to it

Wasn't disappointed.......

There's 15 mins of my life I wont get back (nor £30 I suspect...)

Most mad that they always run it down to the light (wife's no different!!!)

Have to admit, I'm notorious for this in my family!

I'm one of those who starts worrying when the needle hits the quarter mark!
Mrs Spiky's car however is generally left with the needle the wrong side of the empty stop and the normally gently persuasive "refill me please" low fuel audible warning has taken to shouting "FFS, PUT SOME FUEL IN!!"
Rumour has it, she takes the filler cap off and if she can smell a couple of fumes, that's enough for a weeks worth of motoring.

I was quite worried last week...the range on the E63 changes from counting down miles to just showing a red car refill cartoon instead, when you get down to fewer than 20 miles remaining. What help is that?! I need to see every last mile counted down

I have to confess that I let the needle get dangerously low.

I’ve never run out of fuel yet but maybe it’s a matter of time. I must change my rock n roll ways.

I've come very close twice. Picking up my land rover, the seller said it needed fuel. Too right; it was spluttering in the petrol queue 3 miles away!
Then last summer, I had to abandoned my car in the depths of West Wales at midnight as the 24 hour petrol station i was going to full up at was shut and I'd already been 10 miles with the range on zero!

Neither have I ever mis-fuelled which is astonishing given that I’m in a constant state of ‘day-dream mode’.

Mrs PMP went out last night to fill up her new petrol turbo nutter car for the very first time after 12 years of dirty diesels !!! Lots of FFS & DFIU were bandied about before she left

 

[poormansporsche]

She is a somewhat scary and aggressive person and you don't need to be mystic meg to foresee the potential conflicts before she left


And....... I wasn't wrong...... She didn't put the wrong fuel in but did have a slanging match with a self entitled RR driver who jumped the queue !
