It’s the media whipping up a frenzy as @Glos Guy says.
The Daily Express is the worst, they’ve been saying for days that fuel rationing is coming soon and using AI photography of massive queues at petrol stations. One was a Tesco which had a sign near the pumps saying you could buy Spuds, Orsinas and Isnacs in the shop. Exactly 😆
I work p/t at a Sainsbury’s petrol station and our prices have come down in the last two days by 7p per litre (140.9/166.9)
Strangely, the local Tesco has run out of diesel a couple of times in the past few days, which makes no sense as AFAIK they also get theirs via Greenergy in Grays, Essex. Maybe their planners are less competent!
