All seems to be back to normal around here. No queues anywhere - I suspect that everyone is emptying their jam jars & generally working their way through their panic stockpiles.

I just didn't go out for a week during all this silliness. Glad I work 20 yards from home & have 3 weeks of gas oil & Derv in stock.

God bless our stupid government for causing this mess!

Everything back to normal elsewhere??

No Shell V Max in my area that I could see. Glad I don't have to use the car for a few days.

Round here Tesco Mometum is 142.9 and Shell 148.9. Granted only £4.00 per tank diffenrence but galling nonetheless (nearly another gallon in it).

PG, you've got V Power as normal then? Going Hitchin Audi Thursday, will see if the Shell there has any.

Real pain not having a Shell in Bedford, the one in Flitwick doesn't stock V Power at all now which is strange (this was pre fuel panic)

Haven't looked in 3 days but wasn't any on Friday but still told you how much it cost and now V-Power has crept up another 1p litre to 8p more than unleaded.
