Ran in to a bit of this on our way home from Wales back to the ferry terminal in Liverpool yesterday, with a long queue of cars on the A56 coming towards Helsby & all the way to Frodsham. Turned out to be cars queuing to get into a petrol station, blocking the road. Luckily we'd filled our bikes up in Wales before the media started the panic.

A lot of fuel stations have no fuel here in Chesterfield and the few that have fuel have very long queue’s

Most cars in my village are brimming with fuel if I was that way inclined I do not think I would have much trouble topping up

Think I will start a rumour that there is a beer shortage at our local pub as their pubs sales are down LOL.
Partner had to fill up with the dreaded E10, hope we don't find a pool of distorted Plastic Fuel Tank in the morning LOL.

Slightly off topic, but I was surprised at the price of petrol over there. On the Island, it's 132.9p/litre, but as we left the ferry terminal in Liverpool on our trip & passed a garage I noticed it was 138.9p/litre. I thought that might be city centre prices, but it seemed to be around 135.9 - 138.9 everywhere we went (didn't go near any supermarkets ). In the 35 years I've been on the Island, it's always been a bit more expensive here, largely 'cos of the extra transport cost of bringing it in by sea. Then the penny dropped, there's no ethanol in the stuff over here - there's no legal requirement for it, so I suppose the fuel suppliers save a few bob on the refinement process by shipping it over here before they put the stuff in. I always used to fill up before getting on the ferry home, but looks like I'll be better off waiting till I get home in future. |

Certainly fuel for thought so to speak , had a right job getting super unleaded e5 over here this week 😬 |

I was surprised, going off previous price difference between Island & mainland I reckon you're paying 10 -15p extra a litre to have 10% of this stuff instead of petrol
