The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Can't they sue for compensation for the stress they were caused because they missed a tea break by not being told orally and in writing that it was a petrol/diesel car  ::) ::) ;D ;D

including a BMW S30, Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra.

BMW S30?  No wonder it cost so much - They have a one-off Vehicle.

Nice reporting!  >:(

This is dull. A poor attempt an sensationalism.

Its called making a mistake, like everyone else does. Unless you think police officers have an extra organ that helps them prevent mis-fuelling.

Yes. I wish Hu Flung Dung would get his act together and bomb America. Now that would be exciting.

I agree  :y

However when filling i always wait for the pump to turn off all the other prices of fuel it dispenses...so making sure ive not picked up the premium diesel nozzle.....im not colour blind and can tell the difference between black and green nozzles....but even if i did put petrol in error....my local garage charges £100 for a tow and flush ( i suspect thats cheap ) and not summat i would want to pay for a silly mistake  :y
