Still queueing round here and some rationing. I got £35 in at an Esso station and while I was in queueing mode, went on and found a shortish queue at Tesco to put in about the same again. First time I've put any in that car since the panic started, it was down to about 40 miles range so I went while I had enough fuel to hunt for more. A couple of stations I passed were out of one variety or another.
We used the MX-5 for a trip to Cambridge last weekend because it was nearly full, and is also our most economical transport.
Unlike bog rolls, most people can't just keep buying fuel they aren't using so it has to ease except to the extent that there is a shortage in the supply chain which the chief liar says there isn't.
