Cork Man Runs Out Of Petrol Driving Around Looking For Petrol Station That Isn’t Out Of Fuel

A LOCAL CORK man has spoken of his frustration during a search for an open and stocked petrol station yesterday in the Munster area which ended with him abandoning his vehicle, WWN can reveal.

“I wouldn’t mind like but I started with a 95% full tank,” explained Joseph Sullivan, exhausted from his 38km walk home.

Having gotten wind of rumours of a possible fuel shortages in the early afternoon, Sullivan immediately jumped in his car with its near full tank, hoping to pop to his nearest filling station for a small top up.

“You just don’t know how long this will go on for like, so I thought better safe than sorry but good jaysus, the queues. I knew the Emo was just up the road so I went there next but the same story, gone. The pipes drained like a bar on New Year’s Eve,” added Sullivan, who growing ever more concerned, continued to drive further and further away from his home in search of unleaded.

“Then at some stage I copped I was gone from about 95% full to 70% and I had have a thought to go home but I’m determined or as my wife would put it ‘thick as shit’, so I wasn’t going home without topping up lest I get slagged by Peter across the road so I kept going for another 6 hours or so before she gave out,” explained Sullivan.

“It’s all those ejects panic buying, if it wasn’t for all them in the queues I would have been able to top up handy enough like”.
