Any sign of a fuel shortage near you, If you listen to the media they will say no, but there a few garages near me thats run out of fuel today so if your affected in your area please update here, That way we will get a true picture of the truth.. :y

I REALLY REALLY needed fuel this morning. Normally busy friday morning anyway, but much longer queues today

Thats 7 times to fill ours up!

Apparently they have also sold 8 days worth of petrol today!

I filled up at Morrisons in Bradford (mayo avenue) on thurs, A slight queue but they are the cheapest around so not surprising. I filled up, not because of any shortage, but because the warning light was on!.

The internal combustion engine hasn't reached this part of the world yet.

No problems so far.

It might just be me but........... I don't think there would be the potential problems if the media had just kept their gobs shut :( they have got everyone so hyped up that imho this will cause a fuel shortage.................. >:(

precisely mate - media hype and a small possible shortage perpetuated by people filling up 'just in case' ::)

In Los Altos in Spain three petrol stations have run out of fuel and the others nearby have cars waiting fifty odd long for fuel, hope this may help  ;D Seriously, had to fill the hire car up to return it and it took me nearly an hour to do it. It's just as bad over in Spain
