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.
