Can't say I have so far but will add it to the list of impending crises to worry about!

Nearly all the pumps at my Sainsburys are closed off so it's interesting that in that article Sainsburys say they're not having any problems.
All the petrol stations near me are very busy so I think panic buying has set in.

Our local BP is shut but I don’t buy petrol there anyway. All the other local garages are open.

There aren’t petrol shortages, there are driver shortages, you might want to get the post title changed as it’s scare mongering.

Covid is dying down so they have to think of new ways to make the sheeple feel anxious so the media are causing stress from reporting home energy bills rising and food and fuel rationing.

Tesco’s were struggling last week, no diesel

All the petrol station near me are now shut due to lack of fuel. It's very concerning as I care for my mother and need to drive to get to her.

All petrol stations in my area are closed according to social media. I can't go driving around in the hopes of finding one that has petrol because I haven't got enough petrol. Not if I want to be able to go to work tomorrow anyway!
