petrol (available?)

[Penguin68]

You'd think, what with all the cycling and active travelling (walking) that must be going on around here to justify and validate the continued road restrictions that there wouldn't be any petrol queues in Dulwich.

[Jules-and-Boo]

it's people buying more than they need.

[Nigello]

I don't use them myself but am frequently a passenger and find that the after-care is less good than it used to be. Some cars are dirty, others without charge and others don't close and open as they ought. It lets down a really good service but I agree that on the whole, Zipcar (electric) cars are worth signing up for.

AylwardS - it was extensively reported that only 1 percent of garages had reported shortages (last Friday) so please do not say this was not the case. I agree that stupid, selfish people are to blame but when news actually states in online, radio and TV pieces - quoting official sources - that a tiny percentage of petrol stations were short of fuel and that the big suppliers had plenty of fuel please do not say it is not true.

Has anyone got any tips for anywhere that's still got petrol now? Thanks

[Administrator]

Please keep it East Dulwich specific and useful.

Morrison?s in Peckham still had petrol this evening. Very organised. Was in and out in about 20 minutes!

[VinnieM]

They have run out at Morrison?s in Peckham now

Does anyone know of the nearest petrol station which has petrol - this morning? My tank is on empty and I've been out on Sunday and Monday looking for petrol, to no avail and can't risk driving around in the hope of finding some. My husband is in hospital and will be coming out at the end of the week and I want to bring him home in the car. Thanks

bp has with queue of 15 mins. 142.9

Goose green. Calm with forecourt warden

Loughborough Junction had fuel around 10.30am this morning - about a 20 min queue

[Super-T]

The Grove Vale Filling station (goose green near the roundabout) has petrol but also a huge queue of 15+ cars which is blocking the road badly

I've got five litres of petrol contaminated with diesel. I wont even use it for a mower (which in any case needs decent fuel) so use it occasionally to get a bonfire going, not that I do many of those nowadays. I'm tempted to put it on the items to buy section.

Funny business this, in one way a useful community service, on the other hand can encourage unnecessary purchases.

[Rockets]

Malumbu - you light bonfires with petrol.....my goodness me...that is an absolute recipe for disaster and so dangerous so please be careful.

Still blocking the road when I walked past at 4ish today. Selfish beyond belief to pull over knowing full well they're blocking the route for other cars, plus it's a busy bus route.
