Free Petrol

Garage gives away £20k of free fuel

Drivers gained some respite from the recent hikes in fuel prices after a garage decided to give away free petrol.

As part of a promotion for a new computer game, £20,000-worth of fuel is being given away free of charge.

Electronic Arts have taken over the Last Stop garage in Finsbury Park, north London, to promote the game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

By 7.30am on Friday morning more than 150 customers had taken advantage of the offer, which allows drivers to put up to £40-worth of fuel in their tanks free of charge.

The promotion will continue until the £20k of fuel runs out, with security staff on hand to control the traffic and deal with rowdy customers.

Tempers were starting to fray as the rush-hour developed.

A queue of around 30 cars snaked its way from the petrol station as more and more customers arrived for their free fuel.

Car horns sounded repeatedly as drivers on the other side of the road got snarled up in the congestion.

But customers filling up for free were not concerned,

Prince Davis 37, who queued patiently for a quarter of an hour for free petrol, said: "This is a genius idea, whoever thought of this should be promoted."

The A6/A46 services in Birstall were giving away free fuel last Friday afternoon; something to do with Leicester Sound, apparently. My dad said it was absolute chaos.

This is what happens when you buy an ageing Vauxhall. I know from experience.
