Well, I do many thousands of miles a year, much more than your average driver of 12,000 miles, I can rack up over 30,000 in a year, and so another impending fuel shortgage is not good news for me. To top it all I also dislike queueing. so when I see on the news last night about panic buying, I feel a little depressed that people are so stupid that they cant just go about business as usual since this round of protests is supposed to be peaceful and NOT stopping the fuel tankers from leaving the fuel depots. So, as the news reported Northampton as having queues, I decided to go out at 23:15 last night, only to find four local supermaket filling stations had run dry, a Shell station was still open but with long queues back onto the main road, so I continued my search for fuel, going across town to another 'local' Tesco, and find this one is still open with limited pumps working, but fortunatley, I drive straight upto the card payment only pump and fill up and be gone within 10 minutes (yes I was runing close to empty), everybody else seemed intent to join the queues to fill up, then go instore to pay for fuel by card, Dooh !!!!
Lets hope the supply keeps coming, as I will nbeed to fill up again at the weekend !
