View Full Version : oil refinery blaze... go fill up!
I know the news says don't panic buy etc etc... but it'll definately affect fuel prices, so go fill up while its cheap!
and yet another panic buy meaning no fuel again :roll:
news is playing it down, but there is only a handful of refinery's in the UK so surely we'll see the knock on effects. i.e. higher fuel prices. :shock:
damn it i'm running on empty as well so i'll have to go fill up :evil:
Half of that stuff was aviation fuel. There's no need whatsoever to panic buy, even if it was all domestic fuel...
Here here!!
As stated half was aviation and the rest was a mixture of other fuels as well as petrol. It was the fith biggest in the UK so id imagine that we'll be fine.
:D
sweet i'll wait until payday for more fuel then :D
Wouldn't have said tehre will be a fuel shortage, but prices will defo go up, that much is obvous in teh midlands, big refinary birminghamish area, petrol is a good 5p/ltr cheaper in coventry tehn at home in the sticks....higher transport costs means higher fuel prices.....poor ****ers lol :lol:
it said on the news the refinery delt with supplying aircraft fuel. so no worries IMO
from what it was saying on the ticker at teh bottem of sky news it was unleaded, low sulphur diesel....and other stuff i forget
I've got almost a full tank of optimax already in so I'm good for a couple of weeks lol!

you need to drive more!! i use about a tank a week!
iv managed to cut down from a tank and half a week to a tank every2 weeks now 8)
I do about a tank every 3/4 weeks at the moment. willie stays at home in this shit slippy weather. Use my work car for most of my stuff at the moment.
i went right past the refinery today and it was still blazing a good un!
I live 15 miles down road from it. The sky is full of smoke, was quite dark here all day.

It's not a refinery AFAIK. It's a storage depot.
