At 8pm last night the queue when I went to pick up my takeaway was embarrassing, so I left it. At 8am today there were no queues at any local petrol stations I passed. Went home, picked up the car (under a quarter of a tank) and by 9am, daft queues again.

I give up. My car isn't particularly thirsty but 20quid a week gives me half a tank. I'm not lining up for half an hour with 40 cars to give me a weeks worth of fuel.
