What if they are just doing their usual fills? confused

It's when the folk that put in £10 start putting in £60 that the face meets the palm.

They still had fuel and were pretty quiet around 8pm tonight - looked pretty normal at all the other stations I've passed too so hopefully not too much panic buying going on, I've got half a tank but can siphon out of the MX-5 in the garage and also the lawnmower if things get really tight hehe

You've only got a spare 10 or 20 quid, and need to go food shopping/pay the leccy bill, and only use a couple of gallons a week anyway...

A TX4 costs about 27p a mile in fuel at the current prices, so unless said cabbie has only done 37 miles in his entire shift then even they are putting more than that in these days.
