True, but perhaps they want them to strike to distract from the governments problems, as it looks like they can't rely on the Argentinians to get an election boostOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostThe giovernment really haven't thought this through. They tell everybody to fill up, and even to stockpile fuel. All the petrol stations run dry and have to be replenished. This means the tanker drivers make loads of money from working overtime, and can therefore afford to strike for a good long time

Bloody annoying, I filled up the car today and there were 2 yes 2 people already at the garage AND it has gone up by 2cents to 1euro 56 a litre !! Unbelievable, luckily the garage has 9 pumps and I live in Germany where there is no shortage of fuel..

I've just gone to fill up the car, I couldn't get into the petrol station and now I've just read online it's run out of petrol.

I PANICKED and filled up...
No issues - a bit of a queue but the same as usual.
We're in Madrid next week so it'll be over by the time I get back...
Anyway, more important things to think about - Extension received today...
Hurrah!

More cars at local petrol station - lots of sand on forecourt, someone clearly tried to follow Govt advice to fill up cans - I just bought some beers and fooked off home
