Panic at the pumps: Soaring petrol prices and fuel rationing introduced to prevent garage droughts

Fuel rationing at last! It had to happen sometime. Is this the end of
wanton and wasteful hypermobility or merely a warning of things to
come?

"Petrol prices around Britain are continuing to soar as the strike
threat to supplies from one of our biggest oil refineries intensifies.

More than a quarter of filling stations have increased their unleaded
prices and four out of ten have raised their diesel prices since the
Grangemouth crisis began on Friday..."

Can't say i've seen any evidence of rationing which is odd as I'm
directly impacted by the strike.

The daily wail is not an organ that allows facts to cloud scaremongering.

I haven't seen any for that matter. Quick poll (though Doug never believes
polls as they are just anecdotal) has anyone here had rationing recently?

Be careful what you wish for, Duhg. People going about their daily
business to make a living and feed a kleptocratic government are all
that keeps your scrawny neck alive.

I don't rate your chances of survival very highly if it all breaks down.
Just goes to show that every cloud has a silver lining. :-)

Is that the same garage that was on last nights news and was named and
shamed for profiteering and who also said they were going to drop the
price?
