Anyone know of any local garages that still have supplies of this rare product? We are running on vapours! I only want £10's worth as I should be getting my car back today or tomorrow!

If you get too low filter some used cooking oil (as its thinner than brand new oil...which will also run ok), as long as its mixed with some in the tank the car will run perfectly well, I used to do a 50% mix in my mondeo diesel and it ran great but smelt like a chip fryer!

From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Disclaimer...I cannot be held responsible for any ill effects if your car is not one of the types of filter that cannot run the oil!

If the strike don't end Shell have 3 days to replenish stocks from tomorrow before the next one. Not sure why the increased demand at other garages should cause supply issues. Unless the lazy bastard tanker drivers are refusing to cross Shells picket line.
I just drove back from a long weekend ooop north. No issue getting petrol whatsoever. Anywhere. However the last garage was out of buffet bars. Bastards.

The government needs to step in soon, it's getting absolutely ridiculous.
I've heard stories of ambulances unable to run cos of fuel costs being so high.
You need to be very well off these days to drive a car. I'm just thankful that I don't need my car for work and only use it for leisure purposes.

Shame the strike is about pay for the tanker drivers...I beleive the protesters should just follow it on.

They can lower the tax, but it'd be a short term solution to the ever rising price of oil. Demand has increased more than supply, price goes up. |

Some bloke from Shell was on Radio 5 yesterday, the majority of the drivers are employed through a third party agency - and this new pey deal the third party is ofeering would take the average driver salary for that organisation to £41,000... for fucks sake get back to work you cunts. |
