News this week reports fuel shortages at UK petrol stations due to HGV driver shortages, meaning some petrol stations have closed as theyâve not been able to restock. Car insurance expert at Confused.com Alex Kindred says:
âThe news that some petrol stations havenât been able to restock and the images of long backed up queues may cause drivers some alarm, especially those who reply heavily on their car for the day to day.
âWhile drivers may be tempted to rush to stock up, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says thereâs âplenty of petrolâ to go around. So if you have more than half a tank, there is no need to panic!
âIf you are running low, or if your local station has been affected, you can use our petrol price finder to find the next best alternative.â
