Perhaps instead of being so desperate to avoid using the same words twice they should check their maths, surely the sun has a calculator if all else fails

Priti Patel must have left hers behind when she was writing an editorial there the other day! 
But even the pre-crisis £1.98 for super unleaded is profiteering in London, the average price here seems to be about £1.40 with supermarkets less and well-positioned stand-alone petrol stations higher.

Re: Panic at the Pumps
I have an app called Nextdoor, someone said on it that a BP near me had a tanker there, I thought about it as it was 8:45, but went there, and I was the 4th person there.
We had to wait for the tanker to leave, and I was able to fill up and be home for 9:20pm

Re: Panic at the Pumps
Seems to be getting a lot better, just filled up with vpower diesel, slight queue but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s even come down an incredible 1p per litre

Re: Panic at the Pumps
Passed four local garages today, and a couple on the way into Nottingham, no queues.

Re: Panic at the Pumps
Using the AA traffic page, all the queues to the petrol stations seem to have gone, hopefully normality is back.

My brother can't get petrol in London. Serves him right for choosing a stupid area of the country to live.

Re: Panic at the Pumps
I had to call the AA out this morning (two flat tyres) so I asked him if he’d been dealing with a lot of people running out of fuel. He said he hadn’t seen anyone at all, and precious little evidence of many service stations running completely dry. All due to Grangemouth refinery being so well placed for the central belt (Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh) in his view.

Expect a surge in house prices for homes within 30 minutes' drive of a petrol refinery!

Re: Panic at the Pumps
No queue or limit at my Tesco Extra Sunday morning near Cambridge compared to a week ago, the tanker sitting outside probably had something to do with it lol, so I topped up with £20s worth.
