Exclamation PETROL SHORTAGES

I had some info that Goverment are informing essential services to keep Vehicals topped There maybe picketing/blockades of Petrol Distributors VERY soon.

Although won't be shortages for a while might be worth keeping the Scoob full over the next week or so and panic buy like everyone else

Even if it did - my tank last a day or 2 at most, so I'd lose out regardless

But it is the people who fill up when they get to 3/4 tank left that do my head in, they're the ones that panic buy. Like last time, I'm sure there will be enough if everyone uses what they need as opposed to panics and buys every last drop, they're using more petrol getting the garage every 5 seconds.

Would you be suggesting that we :

Scooby Driving - Law Abiding
Rubber Burning - Corner Turning
Turbo Spinning - Driver Grinning
Record Breakers......

Have to juice up at the local station very soon ??

I only have 4 cans (carry 20 litres) - need more than that if I go up to Macclesfield to see my Father.

How about setting up a Scooby network of fuel sites throughout the UK ?

Whatever they do, if you can, back them up! 90p a litre is crossing the line in all fairness!!!!
