The queues are starting!

[Iffytimes]

Have just wizzed to Sainsbury’s and the queue for petrol is insane !
Drove past another petrol station and same again. The price for a litre has gone up by 5p since Saturday when I filled up .Has anyone else noticed or is it just a local problem?

I filled up at Sainsbury's yesterday after doing my shopping. Petrol had gone up by about 6p but there were no queues at all. I was with my brother on Saturday who filled up, again no queues.

I pass a couple of petrol stations on my way to work. Again no massive queues but petrol prices have obviously increased everywhere.

No..I just drove past a tesco petrol station.....very quiet

No, not locally.

Filled up my car this morning as I have a 4hr round commute to work tomorrow. Petrol station was busy but I was able to pull up next to a pump immediately and they were all in working order. 🤷‍♀️ More expensive but that was to be expected.

People are panic buying because the news and posts like this encourage it. I probably had enough to get me to work tomorrow but not back again. I usually fill up when I get there for ease but couldn’t risk the pumps running out because of panic buying. 🙄

Nope not here either - gone up 4p in about a week - this sort of thing is just scaremongering and fuels (excuse the pun) panic buying and silly behaviour - most of our fuel cost is actually tax which doesn’t double even if the barrel cost increases

No queues here

We seem to have had a wee bit of panic buying here….but is very much area based and seems to have calmed down

It was quite busy at the supermarket yesterday but I was also surprised that it didn’t seem to have gone up there so perhaps people just wanted it from there as it was cheaper

What rubbish !

i went to get some diesel today as i was passing Sainsbury’s and was down to 60 miles worth.

it was no busier than usual and I didn’t have to wait for a pump.

I always find at petrol stations that there is either a massive queue or virtually no one there. It doesn’t seem to be pretictable. My usual petrol station looked quiet when I drove past.

No queues at my local Tesco petrol station.

No queues locally here .

No queues here (midlands).

No queues at our local petrol stations, didn’t seem to have gone up in price either. I filled up because I was down to 40 miles worth.

Well it was on the news today about price rises so it was bound to prompt people to fill up.

We passed a filling station charging 176.9 for diesel this afternoon. No queue, funnily enough! Rural Ayrshire.

Mine was quiet at 2pm. Straight on a pump with others empty. It’s always busy at 5pm in my experience.

Topped up this afternoon, noone else on the pump. Normal queues tonight in the very cheap one.

We had queues at the pumps last week. Today not so much since I suspect most people have already filled up and are still using that.

Lots of upset about the cost of heating oil though. There are a significant number of properties in the village which have no gas connection and the cost of oil has gone through the roof.

Ermm I was mentioning what I witnessed today. Not bollocks,just fact ! As I said in my post ,maybe its just locally.Glad it’s not a widespread problem so you can calm down now 🙄

It was busier than usual where I live.

filled up yesterday and all was normal and price much the same as usual too - I use all different petrol stations as out and about a lot so couldn’t be sure if it was a bit more - was 135.9 for petrol at an asda - I didn’t think that was a jump. I did stop at another services on the motorway for M&S lunch and didn’t buy fuel as it’s always 20p/l more than elsewhere and it was normal busy - no queues. Drive past several more local ones today - again no queues

The idiots round here all queued up yesterday, all quiet here again today.
