Beginning of the lawn-mowing season?Filled up yesterday, car in front topped her tank up and filled a can. Less than £20. I suppose if you were going for the can then topping up makes sense? Maybe?

You need to get a tank for Cherry…..I normally buy 40 litres for the quad when I go for fuel, fairly common in sheep farming areas. No one bats an eye lid round here.Same here for the tractor, digger, lawnmowers, chainsaws and quad - I look like I am hoarding but its all for machines at home!

I normally fill 2 or 3 jerry cans at a time for the genny at the stables.I need some diesel for my fergie tractor , but loath to take a can in at the moment , with everybody believing oh there s another one stocking up..think when I do it will be at 10pm on a rainy evening .
This isn’t you I take it?I do the same for my AFS110i Honda wave - fill 3.7l tank up and 5l can then top up.
My Honda Wave will average 130 ish mpg - but that is town stuff with one hill - thru the gears and me treating throttle like on/off switch (plus I no lightweight).
Reckon on constant steady flat run with no wind - 160+ mpg would be achievable. Or even more..?
Mine was a gallon army can. I have l9ng since taken to doing what I want to do not what ANYONE else thinks i should be doing. My favourite response is simple (does this look like the face of concern) that soon shuts them upExactly what I did last Friday. The can was strategic, the top-up was tactical.
If anyone was watching and judging, they got two virtual fingers.
I'd I'd been deliberately hoarding it wouldn't have been a 10L jerry.
My post was before the announcement, when Trumpy was threatening nukes and to destroy a civililisation.
Markets have since dropped, but it will be a few weeks before the new prices get to the pumps, I imagine.
Talking to a garage franshise owner yesterday and he told me there was no restrictions in tanker deliverys...he orders and it comes in as normal, the pumps running dry is caused by "not normal sales" ...his words.
Thats cool...!![]()

As I said, that was not the case here, but you are up north so it may be quite different there. I was suprised and disapointed how slow they went up here, I went out and brimmed my tank and fuel can (for the saws/chipper) the day it started and could have waited two weeks!The prices went up instantly (I despise the term rocket and feather pricing) with many excuses about short term buying etc etc, it should not then take weeks for it to come down again
