Even if I fill my tank it only gets me to work for 4 nights. If this lasts a month as planned I may have to walk to Dunfermline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 _________________ My life belongs to a Collie |

John has gone to put fuel in the van and it's pandemonium at tesco! Why do people panic?
He's filling up because he's empty, not because he's panicking! |

I heard about this if it gets bad I'll work from home. I was watching a money saving programme on TV last week and it was all about cars so here goes, they say you shouldn't fill your tank full only half full as it make the car haevier and thus causues you to use more fuel to move it, take off roof racks etc if your not using them and try not to keep lots of junk in your car as it makes it heavier, pump up your tyers most weeks and shop around for petrol think there is web site that has all the cheapest stations but from what I can tell the Old Inns seems to be the cheapest even compared to Tesco and Asda. supposedly it will save around 23% of your total fuel bill over a year which is pretty substanital |

Well I was just at the Seafar garage and it has a £20 limit on Diesel and only 2 pumps with any left. I had to que for ages and £20 isn't even a quarter of a tank for me! _________________ Dogs are like Chocolate, you just can't have one! |
