Petrol Sold Out

[oopsIdiditagaintoo]

No unleaded in any of my 3 local stations. Is this just panic buying, or are there actual shortages?

100% inevitable panic buying.

Panic buying again.

Panic buying 🙄

Yes, my local garages ran out of petrol and diesel at the weekend, but fresh deliveries are expected tomorrow. Just people being silly

I'd been wondering if it was panic buying or a genuine reduction in supply. It was low on Friday and Saturday at several local stations but there haven't been any big queues around.

Only Morrisons is short here - but that was also down to their 7p off a litre voucher scheme.

I filled up on Friday but I always do on payday. I was on fumes so couldn't really avoid it.

Maybe people trying to get topped up before the price rises even further?

I'm on half a tank, usually fill up once I get down to half. I can last another week to 10 days on the half I have. Hopefully the panic buying will be done in a couple of days.

No queues or shortage round us.

It's fine round here

Fine here too, don't think threads like this help to be honest. Just makes more people panic and buy.

I'm not sure starting a thread with the title "petrol sold out" is helping tbh

There’s none here apparently but it’s a tourist destination so has been busy this half term. I’m on just under quarter of a tank but will wait a few days.

Back to the "topping up" brigade who causes the fuel to run low last year.

Brigade - god how I hate that word

I thought it was due to price rises? Not strictly panic buying but price has increased 20p since Friday?

I had no trouble getting any yesterday.

My local Tesco was out of diesel last week when I topped up during my weekly shop. E10 was sold out on most of the pumps too. The price was still 149p for diesel and 145 for petrol so I figured people aren't panic buying per se. Everyone knows prices will be going up very soon so buying what they could beforehand

YAYY!!!! Lets all panic again!

FFS.....when did our stoic Keep Calm and Carry On attitude become Fuck You, Every Person For Themselves?

It was happening on Friday, but those who mentioned it were accused of "scaremongering bollocks".
Several Iocal stations had ran out here by Friday evening.

Most supermarkets and garages close to me still have petrol, but all are out of diesel. I have enough diesel to make planned journeys for the next week and am keeping my fingers crossed that things are resolved by then.

Fine where we are.

Panic buying -no shortages here -no-be can afford the prices!

My DM lives in Hants and she said there were queues at the weekend. It's fine where we are so must be panic buying.

No Diesel here (Cheshire) but we're both petrol and that seems ok.
