Tesco No Diesel

[Scythe13]

This one really caught me off guard.

I was running my tank as low as possible to see how many miles I got from the flashing fuel light. I got to 31 miles, felt a bit too edgy, and pulled into the Nailsea Tesco to refill last night after the gym. I got there and the diesel pump I pulled up to had a yellow tag on it saying out of use. As I looked around at which pump to go to, I realised not one of them was "Available for use" they were all out. I set back home hoping to go to Sainsburys before work tomorrow, but that's a fairly long drive.

My girlfriends dad suggested I go to Budgens 24hr petrol station. So I phoned to check if they had fuel, because I didn't want to waste any more. Thankfully they did!

In the end, the flashing fuel light managed 38 miles!

I'm not going to be playing that game again. It's regular refilling from now on, and also stocking up at home. Where I can.
