A Perth man who took advantage of 1.69 fuel last Tuesday has been rocked by the events in Venezuela.
Given the price of fuel had been sniffing the 2 dollar range, the 4WD enthusiast took the opportunity to fill up both his tanks plus some extra jerry cans for good measure.
Now, he’s not so sure that was the right play. He told The Times,
“Does the US know about this yet? Mate, I’m sitting on a coupla barrels worth or some decent fuel. I really don’t want to be dragged out of my bed and have my supply taken from me by Trump!”
Accordingly, the man has turned off all electronic equipment in a bid to fly under the radar and not tempt America’s unquenchable thirst for oil.
Alas, it may already be too late, with a Black Hawk Helicopter seen circling the man’s Kewdale property. A witness told The Times,
“I got a knock on the door from some Americans asking if I knew where my neighbour Rob was. I told them no but while I was faffing about with them one of the Desert Storm looking dudes had a hose in my petrol tank trying to suck it out!”
We understand that after witnessing what was happening next door, Rob grabbed his reserves and headed for the hills. Screaming at anyone on Great Eastern Highway that they were never going to get him.
Run Rob!
