Tell Me Something............Anything!

People really are tw@ts, I hate the human race more each day! Had to take Billy to his drum lesson this morning in Stowmarket and then into Ipswich for his tutor - three Tesco, one Sainsbury’s two Esso three BP and one Co-Op petrol station en route - every single one of them closed and “no fuel” signs up.

Then I see on Facebook the Police pleading with motorists to stop calling 999 to report they’re stuck in traffic jams as people have been queuing for petrol! FFS, why would you dial 999 for that, over a 100 calls!

So now there’s nowhere to get petrol, and if you genuinely need to fill up, you’re stuffed. So all those who didn’t panic buy won’t be able to go anywhere, schools, hospitals, shops etc.etc. will now have a percentage of staff that won’t be able to get in causing further downward spirals. And how many HGV drivers have to drive to their depots to get to their lorries, to go and collect the fuel to get to the petrol stations that the bunch of cockwombles have hoarded!

I despair, I really do.

these folk cant help themselves. any fear they might not get something and they go buy a dozen of them. With cv and lockdown folk were buying food they didnt need and then a week or so later flung it in bin unrepentantly. the govt needs to have a word with news outlets and tell them not to print shit like that, or life will be made difficult

would say 3 months in tank. wouldnt like to car test it tho as it wont run as well

The E10 juice in my car tank last year must have been six months old and E5 I put in my bike a few months ago was a couple of years old and I had no running issues. There may have been measurably compromised performance, but I noticed nothing.

The effects may not be immediately noticeable, but gradual and more importantly, expensive to put right. Having said that, my bike gets laid up every winter with whatever E5 fuel is left in, and there has been no problems during my 15 years of ownership. The potential problems may well be exaggerated by those who would profit, namely the manufacturers of fuel stabilizers.

But E10 has double the amount of ethanol, so that could change,

if car etc is kept in a cool place it will take a lot longer. a cool garage etc is good.

Just wait for the panic buyers to clear the shelves now .

And by next week the bins will be full of mouldy loaves, and no one to take them away as the bin wagons will have no fuel

The BBC can't have sent this reporter to do a piece on panic buying petrol by accident!

Which reminds me - I recently bought a '6 pack' of loo rolls, all of which appeared to be the usual diameter. However when I took one out to fit on the holder, I noticed the inner cardboard tube was larger than expected - meaning there was less paper on each roll. Crafty way for the manufacturer to save money.
