Fuel station strike

[Clark's son]

There is going to be a fuel station strike from today onwards 

What's the situation I needed to pump some diesel and have up the idea after seeing a que atleast 1km long.

When is it going to end

Any news will be helpful 

Thanks

yep; called off but anyway had it persisted  for a few days - an empty tank in the car would have been the least of concerns

Decided to stay at home today. I did not want to queue up for hours and in the end put my luck to test.

well there was less traffic today as well  I had about 15 litres (more than enough for a few days) left  BUT as a precautionary measure i tried activating thel-higanna mode ... basically just drove a bit smoother - amazing what mileage you can achieve when you put your mind to it ...

Still the good old neutral gear to use at extreme situations.

I had to travel from Colombo to Negombo and back on Monday. Had a full tank of fuel but wanted to save as much as possible since there was no indication when the strike would be over. So I ran the car without aircon. 

One of the worst days of 2017... It was so hot!
