    North of Aberdeen doesnt seem to be any different :confused:

    yet :eek:


    Inverurie was dry last night and have been running out all week, as soon as deliveries come they are bombarded by drivers. Fools being made to panic by the media.

    I filled up last night at Asda in Dyce. There was no queuing and the tanker was there restocking supplies. Although that didn't stop the old man in front of me filling up a huge old-fashioned jerrycan :eek: :rolleyes:

    Got petrol in Sainsburys Stirling Yesterday afternoon no problem at all, dearer than usual but no queues and no restrictions on how much I bought

    The very expensive little filling station un Muthill near Crieff was completely out of fuel yesterday but I guess they don't get deliveries very often and with everyone panic buying it won't have helped.

    Things in and around Dundee seemed pretty quiet today, no major queue at tesco kingsway and the pumps looked open. I have noticed an increase in prices tho. I filled up last Friday when my petrol light came on and was 102.9 per litre for unleaded in sainsburys dundee but today when i passed they were 105.9 as was tesco's.

    Ellon has plenty of fuel and no one seems to be panic buying.

    Got petrol yesterday driving back from Glasgow. Shell garage, no queues, £1.07 per litre. No signs of panic buying yet.
