kjc300,

Thats the point i think. They have to pay for it per litre and i guess due to the amount of profit our government ensures they dont make on petrol due to their taxation, the garage owners simply cant afford to pay the bill for OUR water.

Sad really... but a sign of the times.

Those days are gone James, nowadays, not running out of fuel is more than enough incentive
