You know if you mentioned that on the radio or TV you have just caused it... even if it wasnt going to happen. bit like how the resession started.
people say it looks like we are going into resession so people dont spend and hey presto......
Maybe people on TV should say that There is enough fuel to last us a year and people wont worry.
Anywasy must dash ... Need fuel lol
Thanks

Yep it is all like that, one spark set it all on fire (no pun intended). Problem is this is why we are in so much trouble, everyone went spending when
they should have been easing off a little. What goes up must come down.
Problem i have is my GF is a mobile hair dresser, so no car no pay. I on the other hand currently work 30 miles away as a contractor so no car no pay
and with a car that just about does 18MPG i might find it hard (got lucky last time as was off work for a week). I fill full every tuesday morning and
get close to empty by the monday evening.
But i did get the KC out and for a quick run at the weekend so filled it to the brim and it was drained over winter so i needed to fill a jerry can up
to get it to the filling station to start with so have about 9 gallons available to tap into if needed.
I think the stations will be full tomorrow, just like anyone here i dont want to panic but unless i make sure im full now i could be a week down on
wages soon and this is why regardless if people panic or not everyone will make an attempt to fill up again.
Funny side of it is i take the KC to work to save fuel when the weather is ok! but its not nice atm. 
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

I hope your wrong because I've got an interview in Bristol on tuesday, a journey that almost equals the amount of miles I've covered since
I moved house in january.
Shouldn't be as bad as all the people who don't actually drive anywhere should still have full tanks from last time.
