Petrol and Diesel Shortages
- Thread starter TeeDee
- Start date
I had a real scare last week in Suffolk; running on fumes, first two garages the sat nav sent me to had no diesel. I started thinking about how I would cope - blind, old dog in the back, no way I could leave her in the sun, how do I get fuel to me? Luckily, the next garage, a few miles further on, had diesel. I kept the tank topped up for the rest of the week!
Petrol stations close several sites after shortage of fuel | National
There could be a number of reasons behind the closures

Reading BBC news, one UK issue is the apparent lack of qualified HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicles) drivers. That will kill your distribution. Big money here for drivers.
Cousin of mine did that, hauling diesel, petrol, oils & lubes. Hung up his keys when he turned 45 years old with no debts at all.

Not noticed or seen any shortages around here.
But then I don't drive that much so don't go to the petrol station that often - a full tank will last me the whole month, sometimes more.

I have seen it at 146.9p in Kent for Diesel, mainly high prices seen at Shell Stations. Currently paying 138.9p for Diesel on the work routes, and that is pretty much the standard price going near me.
The super unleaded (e5) is at 157.9p/l, and run out...need it for my chainsaw
Average price of diesel in Oxfordshire is 137p a litre. If the price goes up much more, I'll be able to double the value of my van by filling the tank.
I used to reckon the cost of a tank was the same as my state old age pension. I wish that went up at a similar rate.

Gets quite difficult when you want to split a Cauliflower and no ones got the right change I can tell you..
Courgettes were always a fad Broch!
I mean... who would ever fall for a crypto based Courgette.
I've got a couple of broccoli if it's any help?
(Actually, your post reminded me to harvest the manglewurzle seed I've saved from a 'wurzle I've grown on after I found it in the road last year).
If you ask me it's just a front for Big Marrow.
Anyway, not spotted any obvious fuel shortages in the Leeds area so far.
