It's a load of sh!t, i needed some petrol as my golf was low. I was driving into the road where the forecourt was, to find cones blocking the entry. I then seen a few people in high visibility jackets, one told me that the petrol station was closed due to the petrol station causing bad traffic jams. I then noticed the huge que of traffic all around the supermarket so i had to go all the way to the back and que just to get out of the car park. It took 45 minutes just travel about 0.2 miles

Been out to the supermarket today and as I got closer, ''yes you guess it'' still the panic buying goes on, thankfully I haven't needed diesel for the past week and half and still don't...
I had to go out the wrong way otherwise I wud of been caught in the fuel queues...

Having just logged on i checked the news updates on this...http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2012/03/31/petrol-panic-buying-continues-despite-no-fuel-tanker-driver-strike-over-easter-86908-23808123/

Yahoo/msn etc are showing 'top tips to make your petrol last longer'....don't sit in a f**king petrol station queue like a moron to squeeze an extra few litres in the tank thus making a problem that shouldn't exist even worse. :angry:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
