My 4 are £587 so I’d guess if he isn’t over £1k I’d be amazed
Also, I bet he has a spreadsheet for that already.
Dave!

Have you ever calculated how much it would cost to fill all your cars from empty?
Good grief. That would be scary. The van took £130 yesterday from nearly-empty, that’s the only diesel vehicle I have now and petrol is a bit cheaper but the Scimitar & Galaxie both have pretty big tanks.
I think the answer could easily be the wrong side of £1k

I was thinking a grand or more, yes. Hope you had them all filled before the current prices!

Still big queues for fuel around here. I need to get 130 miles tomorrow night and none of my vehicles (even the broken one) has enough for that. I can't find anything in the mainstream media about this. I reckon after the hysteria of last time they've just ignored it.
Anyone know if the nutters have gone home yet?

Filled up in Belgium today @ £1.52/litre for diesel. We are being shafted by our government.

It's true.
Put 21.50 quid in my motorbike yesterday. The max previously was 15.

Just filled up both cars at the nearest station, a Shell. Merc only took £22 but the Yeti took £60
They had both flavours of petrol but no diesel, and no queues at all.

Starmer was tweeting about it an hour ago.
I think the loonies are on rotation TBH. Government needs an injunction I think then throw the lentil munchers in the clink for a few months.

The prices around here have dropped a bit compared the high point but are still well up compared to even a month ago. There don't seem to be any shortages of anything. A2 petrol fuel light came on at 297 miles, the tdi's at 497; that's ok for a 34l tank in the petrol but I'd rather the 42l one the derv has

Looks like the Jag is going to be £150 on the next fill up, then.

One of the garages in Newquay is charging the same price for petrol and diesel (187p) - I’ve never seen that before.

Local Indy garage told me the next refill they get will mean another 5p/L. They were already charging 179.9 for UL. Nearly £30 to fill the Fazer up now

£86 into the Yeti and it was probably about £8 off empty.

Unleaded and Diesel are both >180p at my local garage. I might leave the fuel light on a little longer

Even at the good old exchange rate when you could knock a third off that's
We've got 35+mph winds coming from that direction here atm, so I guess you're going out not coming back and they're just making things worse
