He should know... he always gives way to the right! ?I think someone refer him to the thread about how to drive around a roundabout...
Seen a couple of cars abandoned - may have broken down but could equally have run out..one was very close to a garage that was open....Just curious; has anyone seen any vehicles stranded that they suspect might have run out of fuel?
Or are most people just driving around on a full tank now and biting their nails when the gauge drops to 3/4 full?
Think the second paragraph is it.Just curious; has anyone seen any vehicles stranded that they suspect might have run out of fuel?

I would rarely have more than half tank when not planning a long trip, and would top up when down less than say 60 miles left say. Probably a lot of people were similar, and many now have anxiety and have flipped their behaviour.
This is my routine as well. I couldn't be doing with topping up every few daysI tend to fill up when the tank is a quarter full. I don't tend to buy in £20 or £30. If I'm at the pump, I'll fill it. Less trips to the garage for me.

Wish Id panic bought the heating oil last week lol. 500litres for £210 is now £310
To be fair, heating oil always goes up around now as people start checking their heating for winter. Passed 3 tankers in the village alone this morning filling up people's oil supplies.
I always have the tank filled up in late August, Early September and price tends to be OK and that will get me through most of the winter.
Just been on a panic buying mission.
Went to the nearest motorway services and took about 15 minutes to wind round the circuit to the pumps, paid through the nose but I was getting quite low.
Cant write anymore as I'm just off to Tesco as we've only 42 toilet rolls left in store!
first time weve ever bought it, lesson learned (repeating theme lol)
Yesterday the Mrs came back from work and said, that everyone is talking about bog rolls being in short supply soon.. do we have any left.
Who the flip, is spreading all this news? who is talking this country down?
At this rate, i wont have anything to buy for Christmas..
Look for a subscription where you pay monthly and get normally 4 top ups a year and they do it all for you. No need to remember to order but if you see it particularly cheap you can always get the tank filled anyway.
