FWIW average unleaded price of unleaded in France 1.83 Euro = £1.53/l.

Dover appeared dry this morning and then I drove past Duke of York Shell after my night shift and they had just had a delivery, but be quick!

I didnt think there was any in Dover,i managed to get some petrol at Tram rd Folkestone they even had Diesel but the man in the shop said they would probably run out in an hour,on our way to Hastings there was no fuel at Hythe but the rest of the way all garages looked ok.Was the same situation last year when we had fuel shortage.

Walked past Shell at Duke of York this morning, all coned off with no fuel. I just had to drive to Hythe for work and the BP had petrol this evening, if you go further afield, my parents told me that the two garages by the old Richborough power station had fuel? BP at Limekiln had cars fuelling up this evening too, but didn't go in, so don't know if they had diesel or petrol.
Hopefully the weekend will allow catch up with deliveries

I think many of us put more in the tank than we would normaly,you just dont know anymore if there will be any next week,i managed to fill my van up at weekend,it was almost running on the fumes.The car isnt so important but if the van is empty then i cant earn any money.

The one at the bottom of Folkestone Road seems to be having some major works done to it

Yes, that'll sure hit BP badly. I don't know where they'll get the money to cover it.
