🚗 Fuel stocks across the UK have hit a concerning low, reaching levels not seen since 2022. Is your area feeling the pinch?
😬 Petrol stations nationwide are down to just 40% capacity on average, with places like Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, and the Isle of Wight experiencing the worst shortages. Some blame soaring demand for the squeeze, as disruptions from the ongoing Middle East conflict continue to play a role.
📈 Prices aren’t helping either! Diesel costs have rocketed past £2 per litre, with the average fill-up price rising significantly since February.
⛽ Despite the challenges, drivers are still topping up their tanks. Recent data shows that fuel deliveries have even increased, indicating resilience amid the chaos.
😮 So, what’s next? While some stations are running dry, industry bodies assure us that supplies are stabilising and forecourts are being resupplied efficiently.
