I refuse to fill my car up as a result of this. If it runs out, so be it.

I shall walk to work every day, or dust down the Penny Farthing and ride it. Bastards.

Filled mine and Mrs S's yesterday ... No need to worry then as we have a good 700 miles between us and no plans to go anywhere this week. She'll do 100 miles max for work and kiddies taxi service this week and that's about it.

Damn you! I stuck £35 in on Saturday and will be lucky to see 100 miles out of it. I know that if I go to a petrol station now, the price will have "been amended to reflect market conditions" to about £1.10 a litre. I may opt to go in Mrs TMR's car to the office every day, although this is an unattractive option.  cussing:

What is all this fuel blockade stuff then? The last fuel troubles started here and the petrol ran out pretty quickly.
