Some people must have amazing eyesight to be able to clearly see how much petrol other people are putting into their cars |
I was next after her at her pump, thought it was odd when she stood there for 10 secs | | | |

That being the point - it would act as a deterrent to those just 'topping up' and so reduce the queues.
Fuel would be in the stations, available as NEEDED, and not unused in vehicles and cans in garages
It would not take many days to get things back to normal, as people would be using up what they had to get a position where they actually needed over £30 worth of fuel
it is not that difficult given how this is how it works in most other areas of life |
And again, it would also act as a barrier to anyone that can’t afford to put more than a small amount of petrol in their car, which is a point that you seem to keep ignoring
And what other areas of life are purchases capped to a minimum amount? |  |

Non stop Smiths in the car! That's a tad draconian, they haven't killed anyone |
And how exactly do you know that The Smiths haven't killed anyone? |  |

So we are now left with the absurd and stupid arguments
You purchase goods mostly determined by what the seller decides is commercially viable. You don not buy a cup ful of sugar then spend the rest of the day topping the cup up after a few cups of tea.
the number of open turnstiles at PR is governed by the number of fans expected to turn up
pretty much everywhere else the level of demand is regulated by various methods price, more tills open etc
however do feel free to find some silly point where the greater good has to be thwarted by some obscure possibility
perhaps we should close all the turnstiles, as although they work for everyone usually, there maybe a morbidly obese person who cannot get through
however as stated this would be a very short term measure to end this problem
though at least you do provide clear evidence of the thinking behind those who cannot grasp the idea of some 'greater good' |  | | |

That's a very good point, I don't know if the Smiths have killed anyone. Don't think it would hurt to waterboard Morrissey just to see if he knows anything |  | | |

The analogy in your second paragraph does not work for those of us who do not take sugar in our tea...although I, and I have been scorned for this, put milk in black tea. | |

“ You purchase goods mostly determined by what the seller decides is commercially viable”
What you’re suggesting has nothing to do with commercials though, commercially it is in the sellers interests to be able to sell as much as possible
If a minimum cap was to be implemented the only logic for doing so would be to make it easier for those who need fuel to be able to get it (to the commercial detriment of fuel companies). And therefore falls on its face, as it immediately stops a number of people being able to purchase fuel when they need it | |

What we need is to let natural market price mechanisms kick in. If I was a garage owner I'd be whacking 10/15p onto the price during this spike in demand. Before anyone screeches about profiteering, all this down-time they are facing must be having an impact on kiosk-goods sales which is where they would normally make their money. |  |

Minimum delivery is currently 2 litres, i’m sure that could be raised to 5 or 10 as long as provision made for motorcycles.
Asda, Stoke Park, currently have pumps set to deliver a maximum of 30 litres. One guy tried to get fuel from a second pump but his attempt failed, he was not a happy bunnie….
Yesterday had conversation with someone who had that morning filled up both his cars tanks, and his daughters car as well. He explained he was only making sure he didn’t run out. Asked him how much slower he was driving, he was forty miles from his home, just got a blank look. When I explained he would be able to drive a lot further on a tank of fuel if he drove slower his wife said he had driven as fast as he usually did. |  |

Therein lies the absolute stupidity of this idiotic £30 limit - it allows cretins to keep 'topping up'.
Which will mean those with the necessary time on their hands can spend the day 'topping up' their and family cars, via umpteen petrol cans if needed.
It should be a £30 MINIMUM charge - then see if the fckers want to try and squeeze a few more litres in when it will cost £30, and no petrol cans, either.
It would end the queues in an instant, . |
I only need £15/20 per week.
Where does that leave me? |  |

I feel better now. I put £4.31 in mine.
I had to get daughter to uni. I can do around 450 miles on a tank and uni is about a 460m round trip. The first station I got to with fuel and no huge queue was early in the journey so grabbed it and glad I did. Got home with 19 miles left. | | | |

Classic rightie thinking here from you - stop reading the Daily Mail Harry, not all people can afford to stick £30 in their car at a time, some are waiting on weekly payments, UC, etc and just put in what they can afford to get by |  |

At roughly £6/ gallon that’s about 2 and bit gallons of fuel then. A top up. | |
