Just that really.
Dh managed to fill up our car this morning at Asda( not panic buying,car was almost empty)and there was a large queue behind him when he left.
Two of our local Tescos had run out of petrol.

I’ve been living under a rock - work is crazy at the moment and I quite literally didn’t know about this until a friend send me an article about local garages.

Is the panic buying because people are scared about the rising cost or scared about availability?

I know I could google

The price is rising rapidly so people are rushing to fill up coupled with the possibility of shortages because someone on the internet said so. There are NO shortages

Expensive but fine. Passed several petrol stations today, all with no queues and all pumps open.

No issues here. All garages (inc Tesco) have fuel and no queues that I have seen.

I’ve been keeping an eye on prices but not noticed any queuing or garages running out. The Tesco garages where I live semi-regularly run out of fuel anyway, which then has a knock on effect on the other garages. It’s v annoying.
