If there are shortages, it will be at Christmas ffs. There seems to be confusion on what happened here. People are panic buying not due to lack of oil, Brexit, wages, inflation or as it happens lack of drivers (but it is an issue in supply to some extent and will be an issue at Christmas I would say), but because BoJo was stupid enough to tell everyone not to panic buy petrol and that is what ended up happening because why make a call if there isn't a threat goes into people's minds. Now everyone just wants to fill up. Give it a few weeks and this will become a non story. Once you have filled up, you can't really bulk buy again until it is used up.
