Default Fuel shotages?

I live in a small town and went to the supermarket this evening as i have a 350 mile jorney for work tomorrow. The pumps were empty. So i managed to get diesel at another garage for my ZT CDTi. I was told that a people who normally buy £10 a week are now buying much more more. What do they know i do not?


BTW i need my car for work.

The odd thing I have noticed this last few weeks the traffic seems a lot lighter, I had to go to Exeter on Monday and the M5 was ridicuosly less busy than usual, at one point I had no vehicles in front of me on my side and the other side only had half a dozen cars. Maybe people are using there cars less because of the cost of fuel?

A little disruption at fuel depots but all back to normal now. I just keep half a tank in my van now just in case the nutters try it again. The depot near me is Kingsbury right out in the sticks so the poor sandal wearing loons must of set off a fortnight ago to get there as they obviously do not drive.

Looks like it's going to carry on:

No doubt the same people will be demonstrating when the new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill gets through parliament.

According to my better half, local news on the TV was warning about this today. That'll definitely spark a panic.

Just been to two petrol stations in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and both had fuel. 6p a litre difference for diesel.
