Quote from The Sun:

A PETROL station charging almost £3 per litre has sold out as Britain's fuel shortage gets WORSE in some areas.

Gulf station in west London, is charging desperate fuel-short Brits £2.93 per litre to top up - double it's normal £1.98-per-litre charge.

Countless pumps are still running on empty nation-wide, with the fuel crisis a "really big problem" in London and the South East, according to the Petrol Retailers Association (PRA).

Queues of drivers snaked along roads outside petrol stations from 1am this morning with drivers desperate to be the first-in-line for opening.

And now, 200 soldiers are set to start delivering petrol on Monday in a bid to end the crisis after going through a crash HGV course.

In a frantic bid to avoid running out - and to capitalise on the rush for petrol - the Gulf station in Sloane Avenue hiked up its cost to an eye-watering £2.93 per litre of Super Unleaded fuel.

And drivers weren't put off, with pumps selling out in a matter of hours.

Ouch!
