A well known sunday broadsheet is speculating on diesel rationing this morning. Why not petrol too?

As the article points out there's an issue with diesel, proportion of supply coming from Russia, that's not affecting petrol.

The same article says that we are self sufficient in petrol but need to import diesel.

The same article says that we are self sufficient in petrol but need to import diesel.

Plus the fact that it's still early spring, with corresponding heating demand.

Rationing - Warning

We have to be weary of the media creating a panic. They are interested in spreading sensationalism for the sake of readership.

They created the petrol shortages fiasco and we are still paying for higher petrol prices.

All the empty shelves during Covid. No one ran out of toilet paper or went hungry.
