as far as the queue's go I would really hate to see this country in a real panic. Am I the only one who knows panic buying just makes it worse???

I filled up last night. £1.16 a litre.
Don't think people can afford to panic buy.

Filled up this morning but no sign of panic buying yet. I suspect after the lunchtime news the queues will start.

Short up north
Bosses at Scotland's only crude oil refinery have started a shutdown after claiming an impending strike will compromise safety.
Ineos said the Grangemouth refinery could shut for "at least a month", and warned of major fuel shortages.
The statement added: "Fuel shortages are likely to begin in Scotland as early as Friday 25 April and the whole of Scotland could be without fuel for at least a month.
The statement said that the action would also effectively shut down much of the North Sea's oil and gas production, a large proportion of which goes through Grangemouth, causing supplies to dry up and leading to shortages across Scotland and the north of England.
Grangemouth supplies Scotland, Cumbria, Northumberland and parts of Yorkshire.
