paulinlincs Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 The media have started the old fuel shortage stories again. Creating a problem that doesn't exist. Got a call this morning from my Son telling me he heard on the radio about a garage running out of fuel. Next thing every garage I drove past had a queue. Fake news at its best.

B725 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I called for some diesel on the way home this afternoon and they only had premium deisel at £1.71 a litre I asked the lady in the garage why and she replied that people had been panic buying again. Even the premium diesel was starting to run low most of the petrol pumps had run dry also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 It’s not the media .. 60 cars at a local supermarket on Thursday evening, and the wife needed to fill up on Friday … similar thing with the chap in front of her putting in £15!

Walker570 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Often see lines of cars at Asda and occasionally at Morrisons even before this supposed crisis. Get my Landy back next week so will see if they have gone silly again on LPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
