Fuel Strike Back On?

fuzzo · July 27, 2006

any truth to the fuel strike being on again. read in the papers that fowzi wants the new guy to start ASAP. and the lines at the sheds are just crazy.

now is a great time to have a gas car.

noaim · July 27, 2006

They say 2 weeks from now.. but here its neva scheduled is it, so u can neva say.. ive got 2 cars wit no fuel.. and ugh the lines r toooooo long..

Try Kohuwela, but approach from the rear (Perera Avenue). They still have 95 and maybe still 90 Every fool and his dog is in line for diesel and 90 octane and not a cat can be bothered to spend Rs. 100 more and get 95.

fuzzo · July 27, 2006

The gas shed at the top of our lane is out too been that way for a bit now. Now is a great time for an electric or solar car.

after suffering for two days i managed to pump a nice full tank of 46 ltrs ( coudnt believe i did that much km's after the light poped in)

dickman road shed also have massive line of cars, but it is moving & if you can spare about 45 mins , there is a possibility, but need to go fast ( i had to wait only for about 25 mins yesterday )

Today i saw 2 women in sarees with cans waiting in the petrol que..

This shit is getting worse. This people still cant resolve this

fuzzo · July 27, 2006

Is there an actual shortage, or is it just the usual panic buying thats contributing to all this crap? Cos I see some Ceypetco bowsers on the street. But can't get close to any petrol shed, either the cops nearby or the damn 3wheel drivers won't even let you get close. Today I saw the queue to the flower road shed- starting from the Royal College roundabout. Better to stick to bicycles till all this is over.

if the buggers voted for this... now let them suffer it out... I really dont understand how they could sit around and do nothing about it... the country is in crisis... not enough we got a war going on... and now this... the others looking at this would be laughing their as* off....

madmax · July 27, 2006

Fuel has been issued with no restrictions from the night the strike was over.... The que is mainly coz ppl that were out of gas are queing out at the stations... Outstation operations are smooth... (Official updates... )

I agree. Got my self 2500 worth in the tank and 500 in the can (my 'just in case' reserve). Not much of a que here in Ja-Ela/Kandana area...

I hear that the 95 octane que in the shed near Trans Asia Hotel is short and the longer one is for 90 octane.

Hola · July 27, 2006

On top of it all, i think the Fashion TV is taken off from Comet

AMG · July 27, 2006

Hooooraayy!!!! I am a proud owner of a tank full of petrol now..He..He..lol .

I pumped up in Kotahena and there was not a long que though..only about 7-10 cars. If anybody comes this side you can try, there are two Ce****co on George R De Silva Mawatha one is front of the KFC and the other one is front of the Seylan Bank. Both have got petrol.

fuzzo · July 27, 2006

ah so no more strike..cool scene. good thing i didnt' wait in line

speaking of KFC... they are opening an outlet in wella..woo hoo... quick access to wraps

Pericles · July 27, 2006

Huge queues at a couple of places on the Malabe-dehiwela route, specially the laugfs at Koswatte, but Dehiwela Ebert Silva was clear when we passed it around 9. Well, clear meaning no queues, there were quite a few vehicles in the shed itself
