Heading out last night and needed fuel, stopped at the local and it had none, with signs displayed saying so. Later on arrived at a station (on --- for miles!) and there was a massive queue.

Fuels also gone up 2p in the last week here.

Are they preparing to rake in a little more cash for their bonuses?

Noticed the prices went up 4p over night on Sunday but no shortages around here that I have seen or any out of the ordinary queues either.

Yeah.

I want to do my panic buying before this thread goes nuts and starts everyone else doing it.

Prices have gone up sharply here. Cost an extra £4 to fill up my tank compared to last week. Can't say I've heard anything about a shortage though.

Tank size I'd guess.

Not very practical for shopping I'd guess.


And STOP IT!

Don't go blaming Jerry Cans.

He's only just got over being blamed for that woman burning her face off in her kitchen when siphoning petrol.

ETA: STOP IT!

Local Tesco closed, no 99 Momentum for me. (Maintenance reasons, not shortage!)

Went 400 yards down the road for some BP Ultimate and paid £1.50ppl for the pleasure. Gah.
