Poll: Fuel protests, will you give into the paranoia?
Not paranoid in the slightest, I'll be filling up when I run out of petrol. 53 (67.09%)
Paranoid, I'm keeping my tank at least 3 1/4 full and I have a drum of petrol with an armed Ojc guarding it in my shed. 26 (32.91%)

So everyone is talking about fuel protests, apparently it might happen from Wednesday to Friday, and this could possibly make alot of peoples second half of the week rather pooh.

Apparently there has already been panic buys across the country already, I noticed that my local Sainsburys petrol station was rather busy for midday on a Sunday.

My question is, are you going to give into the fuel protest paranoia? Will you be keeping your petrol tank three quarters full up till Wednesday or are you cool as a cucumber and plan to fill up on Thursday?

Cheers

The red Nova does 40,000 miles to the gallon anyway so I'll just fill it up tonight and that will last until next year the amount of driving I do.

I did notice all the fuel stations I went past this morning were packed.

I've to fill up every 3 days or so anyway. I'll just buy it when i need it.

I needed it on way to work today and my local petrol station was packed. Big queue down the road for it also so i went elsewhere causing me to be late for work.

If I run out I run out. I'm on 200 miles on the tripometer atm and noirmally lasts till 400 or 500 if you want to go into the red, so I have no worries. Hopefully they will be up and running as normal before I leave to go uni as that's a 200 mile trip
