There are queues at the petrol stations and some are running out. Due to the situation in Ukraine probably.
Get some fuel while you can, quickly, fill up everything. And when one thing starts running out others do to. So be quick to stock up on toilet rolls, pasta, bluedrink and other essentials.
Panic buy, panic buy!

There's a shortage. It has a limited shelf life.

I just brimmed the car, having spent £40 in store to get 7p a litre off.
I was only showing 20 miles range, does it still count as panic buying?
