It will all be over inside a few days, & thatās according to the industry within the last few hours.
" UK fuel suppliers expect demand to return to normal soon.
UK fuel suppliers say they expect demand to return āin the coming daysā, after the spate of panic buying left many stations low on petrol and diesel, or dry.
In a joint statement, the group of leading fuel companies, including Shell, BP and Esso, say that the pressures on forecourts should ease, now that more cars than usual have been filled up."
Thatās from The Guardian but The Telegraph & others are reporting the same story.
Big hugs for that when it happens, LD 
Awww ā¦ Pix, that really did hit the right spot, so to you too ā¦Iām really touched.
Environment Secretary George Eustice said āThe only reason we donāt have petrol on forecourts is people are buying petrol when they donāt need itā.
I do not understand that statement. If a driver did not need to fill up, then he/she would not go and buy petrol or diesel. My car is always filled right up after running the tank down until the fill-up-now light comes on. My home is situated about a mile away from two filling stations, so I can easily reach a pump when the light appears. . sorry, my wife just reminded me we have three filling stations within that mile and I forgot about the Esso. My concern is if all these three run dry when I need to refill the tank before my heart op.
Itās called panic buying.
My above post wasnāt directed at you @LongDriver , I was merely quoting the Environment Secretary from the OPs BBC link.
This has got me thinking ā¦ do NHS transport vehicles fill up at the same stations as the rest of us? I hope not, and so perhaps they can get you to your hospital destination. All added frustration for you. 
They do. There were two articles in the tabloid press about a) An ambulance crashing through cars fuelling up in order to access pumps, and b) some 24 year old female ambulance driver with a cleavage (because apparently thatās relevant 
) who couldnāt access the pumps to fuel up and had to do her shift on half a tank of petrol.

I live about 1 mile from our area ambulance hub and I do know they fill up on account at 2 of our 3 local filling stations, but I donāt know how they have been faring fuel wise.
She was a private ambulance driver and the company she works for doesnāt qualify to use the NHS ambulance serviceās pumps - or so I read in the comments below the main article yesterday.
Ok
