It may be worth filling up your tank now, there may be fuel blockades in the
uk next week, I have just been to get some petrol  here in Liverpool & the
panic buying has already started, I saw one guy with jerry cans in his boot
to, fill up now & avoid a possible rush!

Good grief not more tard buying.  The only reason there was no petrol last
time was because losers bought it all and hoarded it!!

Now the army have powers to break up and protest anyway.  The only reason we
are going to have a problem with petrol is because some losers are stock
piling it all in cans!!

Grrrrrrrrr

ya know one time I can remember buying petrol to stock up as there was a
shortage. Never ever used any of the stock petrol.

Why bother, if you run out, you will be in the same boat as everyone else.

It will be a bigger problem for the government there the ones who will
miss all the excise.

I know that feeling with the pickup.  I usually get about 15-20 quid worth
in.

Well its better to get it while you can & be first in the line, I have bad
memories of the last fuel blockade, waiting in long lines with people being
aggressive to get to the pumps only to find the pumps had run dry, I hope it
does not come to this but its worth filling up just to be safe.

There was never a problem. Just the media winding people up and
causing an unnecessary panic. No problems getting up and down to
Goodwood on all three days. Best time 1hr 15mins from just west of
Reading (Norcot), where I filled up Saturday and Sunday mornings at
06.30 without seeing a soul.

Did you have a good look at there web site

"Not all vehicles run on petrol or diesel, so at Petrol Direct we are
pleased to be able to offer you a variety of different types of fuel for
more specialist applications."

Plutonium

Particularly useful for some models of DeLorean sports cars, we can
souce Plutonium in both Pu-238 and Pu-239 isotopes (Pu-239 is limited to
9 kilograms per customer).

Plutonium
Antimatter

Traditionally suited to deep range space craft, it is actually possible
now to fit a compact matter-antimatter annihilation chamber into most
larger cars and trucks. Typically, just a few grams of antimatter will
be enough to power your car for life.

   
Antimatter
Crystal Energy

The healing power of crystals has been known for some time - new
research shows that they can be used as a source of automotive power too.
