The queues at Tesco's petrol station by me was chaos. About 30 cars queuing from the enterance. I drove 1 mile down the road to no queues  and filled up.

thing is people that want to fill up as normal are gunna find it hard because everyone is in the garages filling up, so its gunna take you lot longer, so you may as well fill up sooner rather than later

I wish everyone would just calm down...I will be filling mine up at my dads work as usual...no queues for me 
On a helpful note...all these people queueing for an hour for petrol...Why dont you just go around midnight tonight to a 24Hr garage and fill up...no queues etc...

So everyone is talking about fuel protests, apparently it might happen from Wednesday to Friday, and this could possibly make alot of peoples second half of the week rather pooh.
Apparently there has already been panic buys across the country already, I noticed that my local Sainsburys petrol station was rather busy for midday on a Sunday.
My question is, are you going to give into the fuel protest paranoia? Will you be keeping your petrol tank three quarters full up till Wednesday or are you cool as a cucumber and plan to fill up on Thursday?
Cheers 
I fill mine up Will (sixty quid now ), drive her till the amber light comes on (about a week and a half normally, but after just two days a couple of weeks ago ), and then fill her up again.
None of this topping up lark, can't see the point in needless stops.
I hate visiting filling stations at the best of times, it's so demeaning, i'd rather brim the old girl and not come back again until it's absolutely necessary.
If it was down to me, i'd have a Hercules or Chinook transport, fill the car on the move with an umbilical on my way home 
Filled up Saturday evening, so if there's no Optimax left in the Shell stations when the little light comes on, i'll be cycling to work or staying at home moosh.

If everyone just went as normal and didnt get so excited everything would be fine, it has a knock on effect.
I was saying the other day 'im not arsed, i wont run out' now everyones panicking and everyone has 2 now. May go fill mine up later but i cant really be arsed

If they've only got petrol they won't get very far because buses are diesel

You could go in search of granite walls to terrorise

if they blockade the depots then why dont the army just go in and blow the fucking blockades up?
i personally dont give a fuck if petrol keeps going up. its like cigarettes, they keep going up year after year and people will keep buying them.
what i do give a fuck about is all this shit and inconvienience. guessing stations will be dry by end of today.

Point one I expected, but point two seems a little farfetched

our local 24 hour petrol station has apparently closed due to a fight up there. People just need to chill out a bit, its not the end of the bloody world !!! I've got half a tank left, so i should be fine till the end of the week.

I filled up on Friday of last week, and the next time I need to drive is Saturday, so I've got a good 275-ish miles in mine yet!
Perfectly timed week off work!

Where i live there was a que from bp that crossed over with the que going the other way for tescos  Although i think alot of people were in the que because they thought it was a traffic jam
I personally think its stupid! if mine runs out il either cycle to work or get the bus it dont bother me for the time been
Anyway I might buy some and stick it on ebay and make some money
