I didn't panic buy and I dare say I'll survive until things settle down 
after the stike ends.

In fact, I filled the 306 up with the last of my biodiesel at the 
beginning of last week and still have 3/4 of a tank left. Granted I 
haven't been over to the Lytham office for a while because the guy I 
work with over there is on leave. I can't even remember the last time we 
filled up the Vectra; over two weeks ago for sure and that's got about 
2/3 of a tank remaining. This included a family hypermobility to visit 
Rievaulx Abbey last weekend.

So when you take the work-expenses mileage out of the equation it seems 
we use very little fuel.

I think you are right doug, when I filled up her car yesterday there
was a disproportionate amount of traffic in the fuel station plus a
queue into the street, usually this only occurs on a saturday
afternoon.

Luckily I have sufficient supplies of cooking oil to keep my chelsea
tractor going for a few weeks yet.

I'll be filling up today but then i usually fill up at the end of the
week due to need.
I'm kind of addicted to earning money.  I admit it.

I'm not that keen on starving.

I thought you said you didn't start car related threads, Doug?
