Fuel shortage gone mental in smowballs town!
15 Answers
Good god, the garage 200 metres from my house had a fuel delivery this morning - they had been empty for two days! We now have motorists queueing down the road, around the roundabout, blocking exit and entrance to the supermarket! Nobody can get anywhere, we have a police van and at least 6 police officers trying to calm everybody down! Completely mad.........

I haven't filled up for a week and won't need to for another week. I assume many people are simply topping up with small amounts.
I'm not going to queue up unless I'm really desperate.
Maybe garages should introduce a minimum delivery of say £10.

A petrol station up the road had a massive queue there yesterday, a petrol tanker waiting to deliver to said station was stuck in the queue. A lot of the stations round here have run out of fuel, Tesco seem to be keeping up with demand though. I reckon the roads will be lovely and clear this weekend as no one is going to want to use any fuel.
The trouble is I'm sure the vast majority aren't panic buying they just need petrol. I had to go out late last night to queue at my nearest service station (Tesco) simply because I was already on fumes and couldn't have got anywhere without running out. They only had super unleaded left as it happens.
My apologies to DT and sheep everywhere, I was clearly thinking of lemmings.
