Easter petrol sales were down by almost a third on last year in the wake of recent panic buying, retailers say.Well so many drivers filled up their fuel tanks before Easter, most of the garages sales dropped by a third. Having driven in England recently myself ( cost over one hundred pounds to fill the rental car fuel tank! ) I noticed driver were driving slower and more carefully. I have just driven a 700 mile return trip to up state New York this Easter. I drove in a little more fuel efficient manner and did 3mpg more than I have managed before in the same car/same trip.
