PETROL SHORTAGE
« on: September 09, 2005, 09:13:01 pm »

  Just come in from collecting and er in door's has been on a mum's net and
  someone has posted that they will be picketing refinaries. Er old man is
  part of the action so has advised to fill up.

  Don't know if this is fact but be on safe side and get your tanks filled up on
  Sat.

  Has been on news so just advise may be wrong.

  Cheers

  Doug

  I fail to see how blocking the refineries will have any impact if everyone fills up before hand?

  I agree that the price is getting ridiculous, but the fact that most of it is tax is the problem, did every one know that aswell as fuel duty there is also VAT on fuel??

Strangely enough - tonight I was doing all the expenses for the last few weeks (I always plan to do it everynight but it never happens) and I noticed that for every £10 we spend £1.49 goes to the tax man.

Apart from wages, petrol is by the far our biggest expense.

For August it was £140.

I think I may be driving a little slower from now on and think a little more about really organising jobs a lot more sensibly which means more work in the evenings.

Also the odd thing about petrol is whatever happens anywhere in the oil producing nations - the price always goes up.

Cheers

I was wondering about that also.

I thought maybe there was some point I was missing.

Maybe whoever it was who posted about running an engine using cooking oil had a good point.

I can't believe how cheap they are - I ordered thirty litres of super unleaded and it was there, next day, left on my doorstep in 2 litre plastic bottles.

Is that truth.

I've looked at their website and 60 odd pence a litre unleaded....

Sorry to write that but if that is the truth then I'm a customer of theirs before I've ordered.

Surely, there has to be a catch.

Cheers

They've certainly cornered the market in high-perfomance fuels. They even sell petrol with NOx already in it which saves on the costs of an expensive conversion.

Ultra Low Cost Value Unleaded (50 RON)

Especially popular with Rover Metro and Nissan Micra drivers, our 50 RON ULCVU fuel is made from refinery leftovers. This is a very inexpensive fuel indeed as it is actually classified as industrial waste rather than fuel.

made me laugh anyways  ;)

I particularly like their four-way funnel delivery system for if you're not in when they deliver. They send you a funnel with a special spout that branches into four with a short length of hose on each branch. They claim that if you order at least 100 litres and put four 25 litre barrels inside your front door, put the funnel hoses in  the top of each barrel then they'll come along and put their delivery pipe through your letter box and fill up your drums.

Then they squirt some rose-petal additive in so that the smell is more pleasant when you arrive home. All you've got to do is screw on the caps and pour the fuel into your motor.

I've ordered 100 litres of super unleaded already, but then again  I'm a Suzuki driving American! ;D

It's a game of three halves!
