This had completely passed me by till Joe mentioned it today. I put half a tank in last week, so hopefully it'll last me a few weeks.

I only have a little tank. I fill it twice a week and spend about £50 doing so. :(
It's the nature of my work I suppose, I could be doing 100 miles a day sometimes. Usually 60 - 80 daily.

I'm not panic buying really, if I don't get fuel I can't get to work, if I don't get to work I don't get paid. Simple as that.

Last time this happened I was considered essential staff and issued with a permit that allowed me to go to the ambulance station to fill up if fuel not found elsewhere.
The petrol stations only served petrol to those with permits.

God, it's like the war! Rationing.
