Scully Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just filled up at Morrison’s in Kendal this lunchtime, no problem. Maybe it’s a city thing? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s a city thing? 🙂 I'm guessing, but I think it is a city - and in particular London thing. All the rules and regs on; Driving hours Rest periods Low emission zones Congestion charges Cycle lanes mean that lorries (including tankers) have a really tough task meeting the various rules. If you get stuck in traffic - you can't keep to your planned hours/break requirements. If you have to stop to meet break rules, in cities, there are no places you can stop and take a break ..... etc. Driving in London has never been pleasant, but even in a car, I find it really stressful with bloody cyclists crossing red lights, creeping past you in traffic when you are indicating left and unable to stop and check navigation. Plus my car (2007 diesel) is now 'personna non grata' for emission reasons (apparently). Other cities are getting to be as bad. I know lorry and tanker drivers are used to regulations, but it all seems to me to stack up to make it an unpleasant task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen one petrol station closed or any queues. I went to work last Monday and new I'd need fuel at some point but had enough for a couple of days. 3 or 4 garages didn't have diesel just unleaded or super duper unleaded, I got fuel but there was a sign asking you to only put in £35 to ensure everyone had fuel, not a problem. There were two garages shut, lights off. By the Thursday the local Asda was open and you could take what you wanted, so I'd hardly call it a fuel shortage, just muppets panicking and filling their cars when they'd normally use a tenner a week.

Cosmicblue Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Just bought fuel in Tesco Warwick - no queues. Had E10 petrol and diesel but no E5 99 octane petrol that the Audi RS prefers - E10 will have to do😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was allegedly caused by a remoaner, twisting the words of a petrol company exec in a private meeting with government in an attempt to pin it on brexit.
