Haha! Not guilty :-)

The issue round here for me is not the shortage of petrol, but the ridiculous congestion that is being caused by people queuing for it!

        Also, obviously, there are fewer petrol stations that have fuel (General Chat) - norwaay, Sep 28, 10:21:34
        
        but also there should be fewer people needing fuel (General Chat) - jampersands, Sep 28, 10:43:30

        But demand could always have been higher (General Chat) - SimonOTBC, Sep 28, 11:22:14
        
        Driver shortage must have been worse than usual (General Chat) - jamesward, Sep 28, 11:00:46
        
        There shouldn't be any long term change in demand here though (General Chat) - SimonOTBC, Sep 28, 11:28:36
        
        What I'm saying is, supply wasn't adequate (General Chat) - jamesward, Sep 28, 11:51:42
