Default £1.29.9 per litre - HOLY SH*T

Just seen it on TV. A petrol station in London is charging £1.29.9 per litre!!!
It would be cheaper to fill up and drive off.

Is this as people are desperate due to the "blockades" tomorrow I wonder?
Still, if no one buys it, they won't make any money the robbing arseholes.
Charge what you like, if idiots will pay it....
Most I've seen it is 113.9, pissed myself at that nevermind this one!

Thank you Mad Evo will do. All these high prices will do is increase drive offs.

Fookin shit.

Would be better if we just all took our plates off, filled up and drove off. Cocks would have to put their prices down then!

Apparently this protest is a warning to the government and a more serious one will take place in January but as a surprise. Got this from an email from the company conducting the blockades.

I've always thought though if you find someone in a garage whos put in say a tenner and you've put say £30, must dumb arsed attendants dont fecking have a clue what pump your at and I always get asked by the same dickhead each time. at the shell so if i say pump 3 which that person has £10 in when I really have £30 surely they can't tell

And what really fucks me off is when the station is overflowing with people wanting to fill up and they are behind the counter having a chat and takign their time

I could probably afford to get caught a couple of times a year if i ran mine on red. Id still be quids in anyway.

Im all over the country every day and ive seen diesel prices from 104.9-115.9. I can always find a 105.9 or 106.9 without problems at some point in the day though. Still ridiculously expensive though.

You'll pay a fine and have to pay duty on the fuel you've used after being investigated.

Won't be that many fucktards that'll do a drive off for £50.
Do you not think filling your tank whilst wearing a mask/balaclava may draw attention, and at the least get the pump turned off?

Well they've mostly got cameras these days, seems a lot of risk for very minimal reward.
Still, each to their own.

Then we will all have to do what we usually do. Just pay for it and get on with it.
