Shell Optimax

[hadenough!]

The Shell station in Fleet has run out of everything bar optimax diesel. And the Shell in Farnborough has run out of optimax petrol. I though the strike hadn't started yet?

[John D.]

Have they got any V-power?

(sorry)

Not sure if it's a coincidence but couldn't get any Shell 99 in Hertfordhire on Monday

Shell in Tadley had run out of Optimax yesterday and I had to join a queue to get fuel at the Esso near the Black Boy roundabout. The strike hasn't even been confirmed yet and people are panic buying already!!!

Be another excuse to put the prices up

At least I have 2000 litres being delivered on Friday for the work trucks.

According to the news the tanker drivers are in dispute over H & S
Strange that as a friend is taking Hoyer to court over seroius back injury sustained while working for them, then got laid off. Big Claim coming !

Shell do not sell Optimax, that's a BP fuel. (searches for pedant smilie)

Optimax = Shell (now called V-Power)
Ultimate = BP

(searches for smug smilie)

Esso here in Milford hasn't got any Diesel at all.

Not sure if its because of panic buying or just no deliveries.

Umm, I actually need to get petrol tonight could be a bit of a pain if everyone is out of super.

Depending on where you are, tesco on Portman Road and the Shell at the bottom of norcot hill are both fine with no mentalists stockpiling at the moment

I'll get my coat

[Landshark]

All stations have been heaving all day. Government suggesting people fill up before a strike occurs = panic buying and some run out = more panic buying etc etc

Big Tesco near me seemed to be coping fine tonight, now have a tankful which will only last tomorrow so I hope they don't get any more stupid in the next 24hours.

I'm not even sure I'll make it the whole way to be honest Jake, Nottingham and back in a M5 whilst tts are panic buying probably isn't the best idea I've had of late.

If need be you're welcome to reacquaint yourself with an S3 that has a full tank for a large cost .... if you break it ..... you owe me a Silver E39 M5 with space savers on the back

On my way home tonight I went past the Esso in Tadley due to long queues and the BP down from Black Boy was closed. After the gym I went through Wokingham and got fuel after queuing for ages at the BP on A329 (I don't think they had any Ultimate and I could see any working Diesel pumps. I only needed 95). The Shell down the road was also closed. The Texaco near Wokingham Tesco was queuing onto the road and the petrol station at Inchcape was also closed.
Absolute madness! If I'd had enough fuel to get by until the weekend I wouldn't have bothered.
