Same here, though I haven't needed to fill up recently, just passed a couple on my run earlier.
Wasn't the original BP announcement only concerning a handful of stations in Wales to begin with anyway?
It's funny how (fuel shortages)

Selfish ***** like this need a good slap
I was going to fill the can up for my lawnmower when I stopped to fill my car up last night, not knowing everyone was panic buying. When I got to the petrol station and saw the queues I thought I'd look like a bit of a twonk getting my can out as well so left it in the boot. Luckily it's raining this weekend so I probably won't end up cutting the lawn anyway!
Those people filling cans could be taxi drivers or people who essentially need it? I had an empty tank and a week of driving next week so. I did join the queue and whilst a long queue it was going very very quickly as everyone was tuning around when they saw that super unleaded was the only fuel left! Fortunatly that’s all I can use 
.
Boris told the sheeple to panic buy and they have?

The media is the downfall of human civilization. And Twitter.
It'd be a real shame if all these jerry cans weren't E10 resistant and started dissolving in a few days. I'd LOVE to see that happen, as in I'd actually pay to watch these ***** get what they deserve.

I do rather wonder if all these people filling up multiple fuel cans, know what the legalities are of storing petrol at home..
If not killing each other over fuel is the defining characteristic of being civilised then you're right.
Have you ever left the UK? Most of the world is far worse tbh.

Oh I suspect someone will be stabbed somewhere over fuel, in the coming weeks.
Is that a thing? One can of fuel lasts my lawnmower most of the year and I never have any issues with it. I do service it at the start of every year though with new oil/filter/diaphragm etc.

Every fuel station I've passed is just full of queues of pensioners!
Maybe Boris was on to something with letting covid rip.

Or just uses E10, which will knacker carbs.
But yea they are all filling up with E10, which doesn't keep long anyway.

One customer said to me
The only shortages are people’s brain cells.

Does E10 have a reduced MPG? Heard that’s about 5% less so if your tank did 400, it will do 392.
