Fuel Blockade

aardvaak

Is there a fuel blockade starting?

I tonight went to several petrol stations in Ipswich Suffolk and all run out of fuel.

I really have no idea aardvaak, but could it be a result of exceptional demand as a result of the very recent bad weather threat it that area?

Or people seeing it go up by 1p/litre almost every day for the last week and all decided to top up on their way home in case it leapt by Monday?

Who knows.

No fuel blockades about though to my knowledge.

Would imagine deliveries cancelled and people stocking up where there were flood risks. And why fill your forecourt if its at risk of being 10ft under water 12 hours later?

I think East Anglia is suffering because of the recent fire at the Coryton refinery.

Just googled it and it came up with this:

I'm more surprised that there's an organisation called Forecourt Trader!
