Garage's Free Petrol Stunt Causes Chaos On London Streets

A petrol station's decision to give away £20,000 of free fuel has been condemned as "irresponsible" by residents after queuing cars caused chaos on local streets.
'The Last Stop garage in Finsbury Park, north London is allowing motorists to fill up with up to £40 of fuel without charge as part of a promotion for a new computer game.
Hundreds of drivers took advantage of the offer this morning, causing queues to build up for 150 yards along the road and bringing jams to neighbouring streets.
Staff brought in to direct the traffic have had heated exchanges with drivers caught up in the congestion.
"What an extraordinary thing to do, it's totally irresponsible. I can't believe they've been allowed to do it," said one local woman, who did not wish to be named.'
I bet she than ran home and ordered her husband to get some quick before it ran out.
