The $295,000 vehicle was spotted at a Shell station in Wilmslow as the UK is currently reeling from a fuel crisis that has seen many drivers go to work and get to daily chores without gasoline.
A Ranger Rover, piloted by a 36-year-old security team member, was also parked next to the Bentley.
The pair stopped at around 2:20 pm on Wednesday and were expecting an oil tanker to arrive at the scene to deliver more supplies.

However, after waiting around six hours and 40 minutes, they decided to cut their losses and leave at 9 p.m. as Ronaldo was in action against Villarreal in the Champions League and emerged a late winner about 50 minutes later.
A source told The Sun that “Even with all Ronaldo’s money, he’s in the same boat as the rest of us”.
“His security waited for hours, apparently hoping an oil tanker would eventually arrive, but he was forced to leave.
“Both the men looked tired as they waited in the rain. If this continues, Ronaldo could be imprisoned at home like everyone else.” It was added.
Even if the tanker had arrived, the driver and security staff could buy a maximum of £30 ($40) of fuel, with Shell introducing a cap to prevent panic buying.
