I used the last of my mower fuel (or at least put it in the mower) last weekend.
I think I can get another mow out of it and avoid the current queues.
If all else fails I will have to rely on the battery powered grass trimmer.
The idea o d forcing people to limit their fill to £20 or £30 is a great way to ensure maximum inconvenience (and so persuade people to avoid travel) whilst providing the media with plenty of opportunities for pictures of cars queuing to fill up - mainly because they could not put a sensible amount in the tank the day before.
Presumably if one does a "Pay at pump" and simply uses 2 or 3 cards one after the other one can get a full tank but it will take a little longer, slowing everyone else down.
