Availability of diesel in Europe in the coming months

[Robmac]

Just been to the Doctors and due to a mix up (theirs) I was 45 minutes early for my appointment, Julie suggested that rather than sit around waiting we could go and fill the car up with Diesel. Without checking I pulled up on the forecourt and filled up - £15.09!

I was really embarrassed as I went to pay and to make matters worse the owner of the station was there who I know well and shouted "Bit of panic buying there Rob?".

I got some filthy looks from people queuing and obviously gave Julie a damn good telling off for not telling me to look at the fuel gauge before refuelling.

She even had the audacity to try and blame me!

Seldome do i put over £20 of fuel in any veh i own, to much weight in the tank reduces your mpg.

That takes the biscuit Trev!

You could also leave the wife and kids at home - or just not go anywhere!

Leaving them at home sounds good Rob, what pub should we meet at when you land here.

I'll be driving Trev so can't drink.

We could meet at a garage- you must know a few!

I went to Sainsbury's Biggleswade and put £75 of diesel in the van yesterday, at the next till a van driver was paying £158, plenty of room at the pumps due to them having no unleaded!

Just filled up in the Algarve near Silves. If I didn’t listen to the radio or the prices weren’t higher than normal (2.16 2o 2.25€) I wouldn’t think there was an issue at all. No queues, all pumps operating etc. Popular aires still pretty full so little evidence of people going home because of possible problems at some point in the future.

Good idea Trev. You have beaten the system there so no fuel price hikes for you. Its always just gonna cost you twenty quid!!! And people say you're as thick as mince.
