Panic buying at the County?

by **Kintyre Forum News** » Wed Dec 01, 2010 6:51 pm

Stories of a fuel shortage at Campbeltown's County Garage has led to panic buying in town today as vehicles brought traffic in Millknowe to a standstill as they waited to fill up. Some fuel pumps are now closed. With some papers reporting only 20% of fuel deliveries are being made from Grangemouth due to the weather are people correct or being over cautious?

"Quick get me the ladders to put the price up to £1.31 do you think anybody will notice?"

Just as well I filled up at lochgilphead today, and six pence a litre cheaper as well.

I walked past about 20 mins ago and the signs were gone, so I assume they got one early afternoon.

Mizzy you were spot on unfortunately - diesel up to 131.9p and unleaded up to 127.9p today :roll:

Out of interest, does anyone know what McNairs are charging for diesel at the moment?

by **Mr.Everready** » Wed Dec 08, 2010 3:18 pm

£1.28.9 yesterday.

I got diesel at Mcnairs a few days ago - £1.25. Up in lochgilhead on Sunday it was £1.23. I try not to go to the county if I can help it - fuels dear enough, that's just greed!

There was this afternoon Eleanor.

I mentioned about the price of the diesel as robbery and said that I thought they were the dearest in Argyll & Bute (are they?).
The poor lass at the counter probably being harassed by all told me to take it up with Esso. I said to her that the Lochgilphead garage, also Esso was cheaper.
